Ruth Rodriguez Obituary

Visit the Porta Coeli Funeral Home & Crematory website to view the full obituary.
Our mother, Ruth Rodriguez, was a beautiful free spirit with a heart full of love and joy. She was a proud shopaholic, a true foodie who delighted in discovering new flavors, and she had a deep love for traveling and experiencing the world. One of her greatest dreams was to visit France and stand beneath the Eiffel Tower, taking in its beauty with the same wonder she brought to life. Our mother was loved by all who knew her, as her warmth, laughter, and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Above all, she loved her God deeply, and her faith guided her life with grace and strength. Her spirit, love, and dreams will live on forever in our hearts.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Nelson Rodriguez; by her parents: Felix Del Valle and Isabel Dias; by her granddaughter: Lourdes Rios; by her siblings: Gilda Pizarro, Margie Dias, Raymond Dias, John Dias, Jose Del Valle, Margarita del Valle, and Edward Dias.
