Shirley C. Rodriguez

Rodriguez, Shirley C. (nee Cardenas) Was Born To Eternal Life on Wednesday, January 16, 2019. Age 93 years. Beloved wife for 60 years of the late Samuel Rodriguez. Loving mom of David (Doris), Dennis (Phyllis Bonaccorso) and Delia (Paul) Roembke. Loving grandma of Cindy (Ben Babel) Rodriguez, Jackie (John Ehrmanntraut) Roembke, Ryan (fiancee Jess), Robert, Brittney and Brandon Roembke. Great grandma of Madi and Adrie. Preceded in death by her brothers Rueben and Robert Cardenas. Shirley was a very social person who most loved gatherings with her family, whether they were birthdays, weddings, family picnics or any occasion that brought her loved ones together. She was an avid reader who found joy in crossword puzzles, playing piano and many outdoor activities like maintaining her beautiful flower garden. One of Shirley's favorite aspects of family was the opportunity to have it grow, and loved welcoming new people into it. Shirley was the last of her family's generation and is now enjoying a grand picnic in Heaven with her contemporaries.
