Nancy "Nana" Rachelle Rodriguez was born special on March 6, 1971, to the late Graciela Aleman. Nancy is survived by her sisters, Katherine "Kathy" Marie Owen and Rebecca "Becky" Ann Loftis. Nancy also leaves behind her brother n laws, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and her group home family.

Nancy lived the life of a little girl no matter how many birthdays passed and pink was her signature color. She loved music, singing, coloring, GUM, putting makeup on, and getting her nails done. Nancy would get so excited at holidays, especially those that included presents. If you were hanging out with Nancy, she wanted to go to the movies where she made sure she had popcorn and candy. You could not say the word MALL around her because that was it you were taking her. Chuck E Cheese was her going out place. Nancy enriched everyone's life who was blessed to meet her. Nancy's smile would encourage you to smile without knowing why. Nancy's laugh was so loud you could not escape it, so you'd laugh too.

To the family she leaves behind: The Bible tells us that God loves each of us, despite it all. Be comforted and remember that our Creator is almighty and all-loving. He is with us each step of the day and will never leave our side. We may be weak, but He is our strength. May you find peace in the loving memories you all have and share of Nancy.

Nancy leaves all of you a part of her favorite song to sing along anytime you're missing her.

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
