Our loving Mother Emma G. Rodriguez, 93, born September 18, 1921, entered into eternal rest on January 12, 2015, with her family by her side. She went beautifully and peacefully into the loving arms of the Lord. She was devoted to her family, always there when needed and ready to offer her support. She was a person of few words but her few words were highly respected by all her children. After her husband passed away at an early age, she assumed both the maternal and paternal roles making sure that her children were raised to appreciate life and demonstrate respect and dignity for all. She was greatly admired by all for her reserved and quiet personality. She never sought attention upon herself, rather found comfort in allowing others to have the attention. She will be greatly missed by everyone; however, her family will take comfort in knowing she is now in heaven with her Creator. She remains in many hearts and will be remembered with a loving and joyful smile.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Trinidad Rodriguez and her sons, Trinidad (Rosa) Rodriguez, Jr., and Rodolfo Isaac (Argelia) Rodriguez. She is survived by her children: Sara (Ricardo) Gomez, Emma (Juan) Taboada, Belia (Jose Maria) Rocha, Graciela (Francisco) Mendoza Jr., Eduardo Rodriguez, Mario Alberto (Olivia) Rodriguez, Javier (Sylvia) Rodriguez, Diana (Hugo) Quintanilla, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
