Sara Rodriguez Obituary

Visit the Slone & Co. Funeral Directors website to view the full obituary.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Sara, a woman who was truly beautiful inside and out. She entered into rest on January 4, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

She was preceded in death by her parents from Villalba, Puerto Rico, whom she now joins in peace.

Sara lived a life defined by selflessness and compassion, often going without so that others would have what they needed. Her heart was generous, her spirit gentle, and her love unwavering.

She cherished her three children, Julio, Luz, and Angelo, each of whom shared a unique and special bond with her. She loved them with the unconditional and devoted love that only a mother can give.

She also cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren deeply, loving each of them as her own.

Family meant everything to Sara. She shared an undevoted and lifelong love for her 14 brothers and sisters, holding each one close to her heart. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Puerto Rico and Pennsylvania, where she treasured time spent with family.

She loved Spanish music, dancing, and had a special fondness for elephants, which brought her joy and reflected her vibrant spirit. Loved having her nails and hair done. Passion for cooking which a lot of people learned from.

Sara’s legacy is one of love, sacrifice, and devotion. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were blessed to know her.

Family and friends are welcome on Thursday, January 15, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Slone & Co. Life Celebration Center 3556 W. 130th St. Cleveland, OH 44111.
