Mary M. Rodriguez, 83, of Palacios, TX, passed away October 10, 2018.  Born on November 9, 1934, she was a full-time wife of 63-years, mother, grandmother, aunt, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend to anyone that knew her.  She saw five generations of life.  She enjoyed traveling, which consisted of taking a ride into town, loved her family, grandchildren and snow cones.  She enjoyed walking around the Bay, never met a stranger, never took life too serious, was always smiling and so much fun to be around.  She had the most giving heart and would do anything for those she loved.  She loved to cook for anyone that would come over to visit.  Sitting down to talk and having a cup of coffee with her after eating her apple pies, pumpkin pies, pecan pies, German chocolate cake, or anything else she baked was a perfect day for her.  She will be missed dearly.

Mary is survived by her daughters, Lucy Groves, Sylvia and husband, Forrest Dick, Norma Galvez, Liz and husband Pat Heintz, and Patricia (Pat) Rodriguez; son Johnny L. Rodriguez; seventeen grandchildren; twenty-nine great grandchildren; one great-great granddaughter, along with many nieces and nephews, whom are all loved. She is preceded in death by her husband, John H. Rodriguez; her two daughters Rosa Linda Bay and Diana Lynn McRae, and her parents.
