Patricia Lee Rodriguez, a devoted mother and community member, passed away on December 6, 2025, at the age of 82. Her life was marked by a profound Christian faith and a deep commitment to her family. Born on September 15, 1943, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of Frank T.

Professionally, Patricia had a successful career as a Senior Casualty Representative at AAA Insurance, where she was respected for her dedication over a span of 28 years. After retiring, she continued to serve her church while enjoying hobbies such as crafts, travel, and golf.

Patricia is survived by her daughter, Debbie Evans, her son, Michael Rodriguez, and his wife, Rita. She also leaves behind siblings Ruth Mota, Cathy Miller, and Bill Miller, as well as five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Her beloved cat, Fancy, also remains a cherished part of her legacy. Patricia was predeceased by her parents and brothers, Vernon and Frank.
