It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our mother, Raquel Rodriguez Carmona. On June 11, 2025, she embarked on her journey into the afterlife. There she is reunited with her parents, all seven of her siblings, and two great-grandchildren. As you may all know, my mother was strong in nature, and after a long fight with cancer, she has parted. Although prepared, the insurance policy isn’t enough to give her the funeral she deserves. We reach out to ask for a helping hand in sending our mother off.

Raquel is survived by 4 daughters, 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. My mother impacted everyone who crossed paths with her. Whether it was feeding them or giving great advice, she was always there. Her laughter was contagious like no other. Her compassion for flaws was unmatched by any human I have ever met. Her patience and understanding in the most difficult situations made her worthy of the title Mother. On behalf of the family and myself, I would like to thank you in advance for any donations possible.
