Dolores Rodriguez

Dolores Rodriguez, 98 went to be in the arms of her heavenly father on Thursday June 27th, 2019 at Prestige Care in Sunnyside. Dolores was born on January 30th, 1921 in Eagle pass, Texas. Dolores was the daughter of Ignacio and Micaela Rebollosa. In the 1940s Dolores married Gregorio and migrated from Eagle Pass, Texas to Washington State to follow the crop harvest. The crop harvest took them north to Ferndale and Lynden to pick strawberries, raspberries, and cucumbers with the family. Finally settling down in the small town of Sunnyside with their family. Dolores is survived by her children, Molly (Phillip) Yanez of Grandview, Vicki (VIctor) Hernandez of Grandview, Julie Gonzalez of Corbett, Oregon, Jim (Diane) Rodriguez of Lincoln City, Oregon, John Rodriguez of Spanaway, and Greg (Shanny) of Wenatchee. She is also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grand children. She is preceded in death by her husband Gregorio Rodriguez, her son Joe Rodriguez and daughter Carmen Garcia. Everyone who knew Grandma Lola knew that she had a passion for dancing, singing, tending to her roses, plants, and mowing her lawn well into her late 80's. If you were driving down Sunnyside Mabton Road you would more than likely see Grandma Lola sitting on her front porch in her swing listening to her favorite Spanish radio station "Hermina Mendez & Radio Cadena". She once told her family that she took pleasure in waving at the people who honked and drove by.
