Valeria Rodríguez, un faro de alegría y ternura, dejó este mundo demasiado pronto el 24 de julio de 2024, a la edad de 15 años. Nacida el 8 de diciembre de 2008 en Waukegan, Illinois, la exuberancia juvenil y el espíritu amoroso de Valeria rápidamente se convirtieron en el latido del corazón de su familia y comunidad en Round Lake, donde falleció.
La vida de Valeria fue un mosaico de amor, risas y amabilidad. Era la querida hija de Leticia Gallardo y su devoto padrastro Urbano Guzmán. Como hermana, fue una luz de guía para Miguel, Lexi y Renata, tejiendo un tapiz de recuerdos llenos de alegría y compañerismo que sus hermanos atesorarán por siempre.
Una excelente estudiante en Round Lake High School, la madurez y la voluntad de ayudar de Valeria fueron evidentes en sus logros académicos y su dedicación a sus estudios. Su sonrisa contagiosa y su comportamiento amistoso la convirtieron en una figura querida entre sus compañeros y maestros por igual.
Sus pasiones eran tan coloridas y vibrantes como su personalidad. El amor de Valeria por la música no tenía límites, y las melodías de Kali Uchis y Cuco solían ser la banda sonora de su vida. Encontraba consuelo en el poder transformador del maquillaje, una salida creativa que disfrutaba lúdicamente incluso en sus momentos de descanso. Su espíritu juguetón y ruidoso encontraba alegría en el mundo mágico de Harry Potter y el encanto de Hello Kitty.
La fe católica de Valeria era parte integral de su esencia, guiándola a través del viaje de la vida con gracia y convicción. Era una fuente de fortaleza y consuelo, que reflejaba su naturaleza amorosa y amable. Su paciencia con los niños era notable, ya que sin esfuerzo se convirtió en una fuente de calma y cuidado para los más pequeños de su vida.
Aventurera de corazón, a Valeria le encantaba visitar Wisconsin Dells, donde abrazó la emoción de las nuevas experiencias con el mismo entusiasmo con el que abordaba cada aspecto de su vida. Ella recorrió el mundo con una sonrisa que podía iluminar una habitación, y su familia recuerda con cariño su divertida frase, "mis 5 pelos", una referencia humorística a su propia cabellera que siempre hacía reír a quienes la rodeaban.
En palabras de la Madre Teresa, "Recibamos siempre a los demás con una sonrisa, porque la sonrisa es el principio del amor". Valeria encarnó este sentimiento, recibiendo a todos con una sonrisa que fue el comienzo de muchas amistades y relaciones amorosas. Su legado es de amor, bondad y amistad, cualidades que alimentó y difundió en toda su comunidad.
Al despedirnos de Valeria Rodríguez, celebramos la luz que trajo a nuestras vidas. Su espíritu, una llama radiante de amor y bondad, seguirá inspirando a quienes tuvieron la suerte de conocerla. El recuerdo de Valeria será apreciado y se mantendrá vivo en las historias, las risas y el amor que dejó atrás. Aunque se ha ido de este reino terrenal, su espíritu sigue siendo una parte indeleble de las vidas que tocó. Nos consuela saber que su alegre presencia se sentirá por siempre en los corazones de su familia y amigos.
Todos los servicios funerarios seran privados.

Valeria Rodriguez, a beacon of joy and tenderness, left this world far too soon on July 24, 2024, at the age of 15. Born on December 8, 2008, in Waukegan, Illinois, Valeria's youthful exuberance and loving spirit quickly became the heartbeat of her family and community in Round Lake, where she passed.
Valeria's life was a mosaic of love, laughter, and kindness. She was the cherished daughter of Leticia Gallardo and her devoted stepfather Urbano Guzman. As a sister, she was a guiding light to Miguel, Lexi, and Renata, weaving a tapestry of memories filled with joy and camaraderie that her siblings will hold dear forever.
An excellent student at Round Lake High School, Valeria's maturity and willingness to help were evident in her academic achievements and her dedication to her studies. Her infectious smile and friendly demeanor made her a beloved figure among her peers and teachers alike.
Her passions were as colorful and vibrant as her personality. Valeria's love for music knew no bounds, with the melodies of Kali Uchis and Cuco often providing the soundtrack to her life. She found solace in the transformative power of makeup, a creative outlet that she playfully enjoyed even in her moments of rest. Her playful and loud spirit found joy in the magical world of Harry Potter and the charming allure of Hello Kitty.
Valeria's Catholic faith was an integral part of her essence, guiding her through life's journey with grace and conviction. It was a source of strength and comfort, reflecting her loving and kind nature. Her patience with children was remarkable, as she effortlessly became a source of calm and care for the little ones in her life.
Adventurous at heart, Valeria loved visiting Wisconsin Dells, where she embraced the thrill of new experiences with the same enthusiasm she approached every aspect of her life. She navigated the world with a smile that could light up a room, and her family fondly recalls her playful phrase, "mis 5 pelos," a humorous reference to her own head of hair that always brought laughter to those around her.
In the words of Mother Teresa, "Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love." Valeria embodied this sentiment, meeting everyone with a smile that was the beginning of many loving friendships and relationships. Her legacy is one of love, kindness, and friendship, qualities that she nurtured and spread throughout her community.
As we bid farewell to Valeria Rodriguez, we celebrate the light she brought into our lives. Her spirit, a radiant flame of love and kindness, will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her. Valeria's memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories, laughter, and love she left behind. Though she has departed from this earthly realm, her spirit remains an indelible part of the lives she touched. We take solace in knowing that her joyous presence will forever be felt in the hearts of her family and friends.
All services are private.
