Connie Rodriguez

​Alice Texas -Connie Rodriguez went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 31, 2021 at the age of 53. She was an active member of the VFW Women's Auxiliary for many years. Her Wednesday evenings were dedicated to working the kitchen at BINGO and sharing many laughs and memories with her VFW sisters. She was also a member of ACTS at St. Joseph Catholic Church, a devout Catholic who loved and served her God with her whole heart. She was an adoring grandmother with a heart of gold, her granddaughters were the light of her life. The memories her family will hold dear, is her love for making homemade tortillas, tamales and pan de polvo, as well as her aggressive Chalupa game play. She was quick to ensure that everyone played by the rules, no matter their age. She was a loving, forgiving, funny, humble, dependable and giving friend. When it came to matters of helping a friend in need, she didn't know what the word no was. She will dearly be missed by all who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her father Theodore Rodriguez, Jr.; maternal grandparents Guadalupe and Guillerma Valverde and paternal grandparents Teodoro and San Juana Rodriguez.
