Enriqueta Rodriguez

Enriqueta Rodriguez of Richmond, Texas, passed away on April 3, 2026, with family by her side. Enriqueta was born on June 7, 1933, in Sugar Land, Texas, to Jose Rendon Saldua and Jovita Davalos Saldua. Enriqueta built her life around the people she loved most. She raised four children and was a steady presence not only in their lives, but in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her home was where everyone gathered and knew they’d be welcomed. She took pride in the life she built with her husband, Blas Rodriguez Sr., with whom she shared nearly 70 years of marriage. They spent much of their time outdoors, working in their yard and tending to their plants. In earlier years, they shared a love of music and dancing. She showed her love in how she took care of everyone around her. Cooking and baking were not occasional gestures; they were part of how she provided each day. She had the biggest smile and was always ready to feed anyone who walked through her door. She loved taking the time to teach her grandchildren her recipes, hoping they would be carried on for generations. Holidays were especially important to her; she would spend days preparing meals and her home, creating traditions that brought everyone together and will carry on. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she was often in her favorite recliner, watching her novelas with a cup of coffee close by. She loved to laugh, hear the latest family stories, and stay connected to everyone she cared about. Over the years, she was there through everyday moments and milestones, helping raise each generation. More than anything, Enriqueta was someone her family relied on and always came back to. She was deeply loved by everyone who knew her and will always be remembered as the best grandma anyone could ask for. Enriqueta is preceded in death by her husband, Blas Rodriguez Sr.; her parents, Jose and Jovita Saldua; and her siblings, Amelia Mora, Emma DeLao, Laurentina Pena, Felipe Saldua, and Endelia Linares. Enriqueta is survived by her daughters, Mary Delgado (husband Israel), Rebecca “Becky” Gomez (husband Richard), and Debbie Sotelo; her son, Blas Rodriguez Jr. (wife Esmeralda); her 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren; her extended family and many friends. A visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 10, 2026, at Davis Greenlawn Funeral Home in Rosenberg, Texas. The funeral service will begin at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel, with burial to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.davisgreenlawnfh.com.
