Santia Rodriguez

Born in Puerto Rico, was a devoted wife of the late Nino Rodriguez, devoted mother of Nora (Ronny Otero) and a protective step mother to Judy (William Fuentes). Santia is survived by her sister, Eloisa and is predeceased by her sister Aida and parents.

Santia is a grandmother of four grandkids: Auria, Christina, Rey and Ana, five great grandchildren, four great great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and lifetime friends.

Santia was a member of a very large family in PR and was an Hija De Maria.  In Buffalo, she worked at nursing homes caring for the elderly. She loved living in Buffalo- photography, walking to all the festivals, church and the lake front.  Most especially she loved the people of her Allentown neighborhood, visiting New York City and Niagara Falls. 

As Santia always said: "Salud, Dinero y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo. Que Dios Los Bendiga"
