Our mother was blessed with several grandchildren: Steven Alvarez, Crystal Alanis, Christina and Rey Cardenas; Anderson and Shannon Rodriguez; Nathan Rodriguez and Bethany Donahue; Aaron Rodriguez, Billy Rodriguez, Isaac Rodriguez, and great-granddaughter Carmen Donahue Rodriguez. Our mom is also survived by her siblings: Ben Falcon, Lydia Larralde, Helen Leos, Eloy Falcon and Carrie Villareal.
Our mom was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
She had a love of family and faith and it inspired her in all that she did in her life. She moved to the United States at the age of seven. She grew up on the west side of San Antonio, attended Sacred Heart Catholic School, and graduated from San Antonio Vocational and Technical High School in 1957. After high school, she worked at the Fashion, a department store located in downtown San Antonio. On January 18, 1964, she married the love of her life, Joe F. Rodriguez. They were married for 58 years. She became a full-time mother who dedicated her life to raising her four sons with our father Joe. Our mother was active throughout the years serving as room mother, den mother, and would volunteer for many school and church activities.
Her many interests included a passion for life, music, and friends. She loved to sing and she loved to dance. She was a loyal friend to everyone who crossed her path. Our family would like to thank the office of Dr. Juarez, and also the caregivers, doctors, and nurses who provided care for her in the last stages of her life.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made in her name to the St. Joseph’s Fund, Central Catholic High School, 1403 N. St. Mary’s, San Antonio, TX 78215
