In loving memory of

Virginia Rodriguez
November 29, 1952 - February 24, 2015

Virginia Rodriguez, 62, passed away after a brief illness on Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Virginia was born in Austin, Texas, on November 29, 1952, daughter of Maria and Eusebio Rodriguez, Sr.

Virginia was a dedicated, loving mother who was adored by her only child, Stephanie Joy Rodriguez. She was a cheerful person who enjoyed reading, cooking, listening to music, walks in the park, and spending time with family and friends. Virginia was close with her brothers and spoke often of her late brother, Ken, who she missed dearly. She shared a special bond with her sister, Rita. In her work as a home health caregiver, Virginia tended to her clients with patience and gentle care.

Virginia was brave and steadfast, trusting in God always. Through her final moments, there was pure peace and acceptance in her heart. Words cannot express how much Virginia will be missed; she is a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend.

Virginia is survived by her daughter, Stephanie; sister, Rita Rodriguez; brothers, Emilio Rodriguez, Phillip Rodriguez (Diane), Jose Rodriguez (Susan); aunt, Amada Rodriguez; and 13 nieces and nephews, Johnny, David, Joann, Joe Jr, Teri, Janet, Diana, Ken Jr, Sara, Phillip Jr, Krystal, John Elvis and Mark Anthony. She is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Margaret Canales; and brother, Eusebio "Ken" Rodriguez, Jr.

Virginia had many supportive friends and extended family members, and the family wishes to acknowledge Fr. Pedro Garcia-Ramirez, Dr. Evelio Rick Astray-Caneda III, Vivian Mercado, Ruby Howard, Jo Ann Rowley, and Lucy Rodriguez.

"En tiempos de angustia es cuando ms precisamos consuelo. Veamos cmo se nos ayuda a sobrellevar los sufrimientos causado por el fallecimiento de un ser amado las promesas de la Biblia. Salmo 68:19 dice: Bendito sea Jehov, que diariamente nos lleva la carga. En el ltimo libro de la Biblia, la Palabra proftica de Dios resume este maravilloso propsito con las palabras: Va a haber resurreccin as de justos como de injustos. (Hechos 24:15.) [Dios] limpiar toda lgrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no ser ms, ni existir ya ms lamento ni clamor ni dolor. Las cosas anteriores han pasado. Viene la hora en que todos los que estn en las tumbas conmemorativas oirn su voz y saldrn (Revelacin 21: 4) (Juan 5:28, 29.) A continuacin, aade: Y Aquel que estaba sentado en el trono dijo: Mira!, voy a hacer nuevas todas las cosas. Tambin, dice: Escribe, porque estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas. (Revelacin 21:4, 5.) Y qu consolador saber que la vida entonces ser eterna: [Dios] realmente se tragar a la muerte para siempre. (Isaas 25:8.) ! Que bella esperanza!!"

"My sincerest condolences to the Rodriguez family as you endure this heartbreaking loss. Virginia exemplified admirable simplicity and such an unshakable faith in God. When I last spoke to her, with conviction, she stated: "whatever God wants for me..." As she was born into heaven on February 24, the words of Christ came to mind: "Father, into your hands I commit my soul..." May you be with God and all the angels, my friend."
