Obituary
In Loving Memory of Lupe Rodriguez Ramirez Cole
It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Lupe Rodriguez Ramirez Cole peacefully departed this world at the age of 83, on October 11th, 2023, with her beloved husband, Robert Marshall Cole at her side. Born on November 24th, 1939, she was a native of Watsonville, California and a resident of Tucson, Arizona.
Lupe was preceded in death by her parents Rosa and Jesus Rodriguez and eight siblings, and is survived by her brother Blas Rodriguez, sisters Josephine Rodriguez, and Elsie Rodriguez, three children Patti Fagan (Mark), Serge Ramirez (Lisa), and Robert Ramirez (Leticia), six grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
Lupe was not only a dedicated wife but also a loving mother who raised three wonderful children with unwavering love, dedication, and support. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her immediate family as she dedicated her life to educating and helping others.
A lifelong social worker and preschool teacher, she made a profound impact on countless young minds and families, instilling in them a love for learning and a passion for their cultural identity. Her commitment to her profession was an embodiment of her caring, compassionate, and generous nature. She leaves behind a legacy of love and unshakeable faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, imprinted on the hearts of all who had the privilege of being part of her life.
Lupe's hobbies included journaling, reading, gardening, daily scripture (she especially loved the Psalms), time with family, listening to oldies but goodies, taking long walks and RV life with her husband. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in the memories and the love she shared with us all.
A private memorial service will be held for the immediate family in Watsonville, California. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carroll Family of Ave Maria Memorial Chapel. We ask that charitable contributions be sent to the Center for Farmworker Families of Santa Cruz County, a cause near to Lupe's heart.
