Catherine Marie Rodriguez's Obituary
We are filled with deep sorrow to announce the passing of Catherine Rodriguez on January 1, 2026. She was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a great-aunt and a friend.
She passed peacefully with her family and friends at her side. We will forever miss Catherine and the joy and vitality she brought into our life. She was an enthusiastic soul who loved life, her family and her fiancé, Lance. She also had great passion for music and the arts and most importantly she had deep love and faith in God.
We are comforted by this quote from Catherine in a tribute to her mother last year: “My mother believed in miracles, all the angels and saints, and those special magic moments that happen in life when you least expect them. And it’s God’s grace and goodness that He gives us in our lives that allow those moments to happen. I do believe that.”
A public visitation will take place on January 19, 2026 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at Restland Funeral Home.
A Rosary will begin at 11:30am on January 20,2026 at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church Richardson and will be followed by a Mass beginning at 12:00pm.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to St. Paul Catholic Classical School or St. Jude Chapel Dallas.
