Connie M. Rodriguez

Connie (Constance/Consuelo Geronimo) M. Rodriguez, age 81, of Toledo, Ohio died peacefully in her home on Sunday, February 10, 2019 where she was under hospice care for pulmonary fibrosis. She was born in Toledo on May 12, 1937. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Jesse Rodriguez. She was preceded in death by her oldest son, David J. Rodriguez. Surviving children to carry on her memory are sons: Daniel, Trinidad J. [T.J.] (Tracy), and Victor; daughters: Susie and Frances; grandchildren: Francisca, Jacob, Dominic, Audrey, Victor Jr., Victoria; and great granddaughter Carysa. Also surviving is her sister, Virginia (Geronimo) Irving. Likewise, Connie has numerous other loving and caring family members in Ohio, Texas and Michigan who will miss her dearly. Connie attended St. Peter and Paul grade school and was a 1954 graduate of Central Catholic High School. After high school, Connie dedicated much of her life to raising her six children. She was also a very active volunteer, who for many years, helped the following organizations: Gesu School and Parish; St. Clement School and Parish, the Lucas County Fair; Latins United; and the Spanish American Organization (SAO) among others. Also, Connie worked for a period of time at Gesu Parish cleaning and tiding up after the priests while they were under the pastoral care of the Society of Jesus -- the Jesuits. Furthermore, Connie loved to cook, read, and keep herself busy doing just every day ordinary things. She was also very crafty and she enjoyed sewing and crocheting blankets, scarfs and anything else that she could make out of yarn. Additionally, Connie was a devoted religious family woman, whom often reminded her sons and daughters to stopover and come regularly. In her younger years, Connie loved to travel; she had been to many states and enjoyed going camping. Moreover, if you knew Connie, you knew that she loved God and she believed in treating others as she was treated. Finally, having never gone to college, Connie was far wiser than most would know. She kept up with the times and always had a sense of what was happening. She will be truly missed by all that knew her. Family and friends may visit Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 S.
