The family of Mary Frances Rodriguez of Tucson is saddened to announce her death on September 11, 2023. She was born on October 10, 1945, to Juana Solis and Trinidad Rodriguez in Benson, Arizona. She was the baby of the Rodriguez family.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Juanita and Trinidad; brothers, Raul, Nick, and Joe, and sisters, Amparo, Ophelia, and Victoria. Mary is survived by her daughter, Vasilia Rodriguez and her sister, Cecelia Barnes.

Mary was a devoted caregiver and a stay-at-home mom. She cared for and raised generations of nieces and nephews. We all owe her a debt of gratitude. Mary believed and loved the Lord and looked forward to Christ's return. She was upbeat and loved to laugh and joke.

She is loved and treasured and left us with many memories. Thank you for loving us. What is lost is NEVER forgotten. Love you Auntie.
