Rosemary Rodriguez

Rosemary “Rose” Rodriguez was more than a name. She was a loving mom, partner, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and she was the heart of all her friends. On November 16, 2023, this wonderful soul passed away at the young age of 46, leaving behind such a joyful impression of all that knew her. Rosemary’s journey in life was marked by a commitment to being a loyal employee. She never missed a day at work. She loved to learn new aspects of the job. When she became ill, she still found a way to provide for her family even if it meant switching professions. Beyond her work life, Rose’s love for her family life was very important to her, especially her son Lorenzo. He was the joy of her life, her biggest accomplishment in raising a well-mannered and gentle son. She was the support system to her family. She always made the holiday special by inviting everyone to be part of the experience. It was important to her that her son Lorenzo would experience everything about the holidays, by decorating easter eggs, having pumpkin carving contests, and her very favorite was Elf on the shelf during Christmas. She enjoyed trips to the beach, the yearly Kern County Fair, and camping trips. Rose was a loyal and cherished friend. Those close to her were touched by her unwavering love and dark sense of humor she brought into their lives. She was a good listener and had many enlightening stories and/or lessons in life to talk about. She always told you her opinion of the matter, in her words “I am going to be honest with you”. Rosemary did not take life for granted even on her worst days she still gave 100 percent to her family and friends. In the wake of her passing, Rose’s family and friends will forever remember how she brightened their lives with her outspoken and unfiltered personality. Her transparent communication fostered trust and strengthened relationships. While the pain of her absence is deeply felt, the memories of the laughter and camaraderie will never be forgotten.
