Obituary
Amelia P. Rodriguez, 91, passed away at home on June 3, 2021 surrounded by loved ones.
Amelia was born on May 12, 1930 in Superior, Wyo., to Adolfo and Feliciana Perez; she was the second of eight children. She had a deep love for her family, that showed when she cared for her father after her mother passed away or when she would cook for family that came to visit. She never hesitated to lend a helping hand when needed; this also extended to her close friends that she considered family. Amelia enjoyed spending time at the casinos, scratching lotto tickets, attending Perez family reunions and most of all, cruising around Soledad with her "ganga."
Amelia is survived by siblings: Sylvester "Veto", Juan, Miguel and Tommy Perez; children: Teddy (Char) Lazaga, Juana (Sam) Kaanapu; Mundo (Mary) Lazaga, Jessica (Lucio) Garcia and Monica Rodriguez; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Anita Lazaga; parents, Adolfo & Feliciana Perez; husband, Salvador Rodriguez; sisters, Margarita and Manuela; and brother, Adolfo.
