Selfi Yolanda Rodriguez

Selfi Yolanda Rodriguez, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away on December 7, 2025, in Houston, Texas. Born on July 12, 1949, in Roma, Texas, Yolanda dedicated her life to nurturing not only her family but also her community.

Additionally, she contributed ten years of service to the San Patricio County during voting seasons, displaying her dedication to civic duty and community engagement.

Yolanda's heart was most evident during the holiday season when she found immense joy in decorating for Christmas and purchasing special ornaments. Each holiday, she welcomed everyone with open arms into her home, her spirit of hospitality reflecting her deep love for those around her. She fostered children for many years, offering them a safe and loving environment, her smile bringing warmth and joy to all who knew her.
