Alice Rodriguez Obituary

From birth to her return to the Father, Alice lived her life, placing God at the center. She welcomed each role given to her: as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and loyal friend. She was a remarkable woman, a gem, with many facets - courageous, adventurous, creative, industrious, and a generous spirit that touched so many. The lives and homes of friends and family are filled with gifts made by her hands. Wherever we turn we find reminders that make us smile, picture her face, and rejoice that God has allowed us to share in her life on earth. Your husband of 53 years, LTC (ret) Frank Robert Rodriguez, your children: Carolyn Smutko, Col. Kenneth Rodriguez, David Rodriguez, Valerie Locke, Col (select) Jim Rodriguez, your siblings: William Perkins, Donald Perkins, Patricia Wood, George Perkins, Evelyn McInerney, your sons and daughters-in-law, your 10 grandchildren, and countless friends, all wish you God speed, Alice. You are loved always. Rosary and Memorial Vigil on 27 August, 6:00 p.m. at Cappadona Funeral Home, 1020 E. Fillmore. Celebration of Life Mass on 28 August, 10 a.m. at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, 2318 N. Cascade Avenue. Burial Service: 28 August, 2:15 p.m., Ft. Logan cemetery, Denver. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Alice's name to: Catholic Charities for Life Support, 228 N. Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

FRANK and FAMILY: I was stunneed to see Alice's obituary. I've thought of you both so often over all the years. I was your neighbor with the big, barking dogs that David and Jimmy dogsat when we were out of town. I regret the sorrow you are facing but know that Alice is now accepting her reward from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Alice was a dear friend and neighbor who will be greatly missed by everyone in the Garden Ranch neighborhood. She was instrumental in helping us save the Union Meadows Open Space, attending meetings with Park and Rec and City Council on a moment's notice, and we will think of her every time we walk there. Her bubbly personality made everyone love her. We will miss that so much and I, personally, will miss the beautiful baby quilts that she made for unwed mothers. She was a very talented lady in everything she did and we loved her more than you know. Chris and Steve Castle
