Minnie (Munoz) Rodriguez, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, went
home to the Lord on Thursday, Dec.18, 2025. Minnie was born on March 1,
1933, in Virden, New Mexico to Edwardo and Severiana Munoz. As a child
her family moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she met the love of her life,
her husband of 61 years, Carlos Rodriguez.

Minnie and Carlos were married on March 24, 1962. In 1963 Carlos was
offered a job which would bring them to Kingman. Minnie and Carlos made
Kingman their home where they raised their family, were active members
of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, and were well known within the community.
Minnie worked as a housekeeper at various motels in Kingman, before
working at Kingman Regional Medical Center. Although she was employed as
a housekeeper, Minnie was often called to various departments within the
hospital to lend a hand at being an unofficial translator, something she
was always happy to help with. Minnie retired from KRMC in 1995. After
her retirement she spent her time volunteering for the church, traveling
to see family, and spending quality time with her grandchildren. Minnie
was always willing to host a family get together at a moment's notice
and could be counted on for her enchiladas, a family favorite.

Minnie is survived by her children– Luis Rodriguez, Olivia (Manny)
Silva, her grandchildren– Elizabeth (Josh) Frisby, Amanda Hartley,
Lauren (Josh) Ott, Manny (Sarah) Silva, Ashley (Martin) Rodriguez,
Xavier (Meredith) Rodriguez, Reece (Alicia) Silva, and 18 great
grandchildren. Minnie is preceded in death by her parents, Edwardo and
Severiana, her siblings, Cayetano, Leonardo, Trini, Ramon, Martin, Joe,
Tony, Pete, and Sylvia. Her beloved husband, Carlos also preceded her in
death and was waiting for 2 years for his mija to join him. The family
takes immense comfort in knowing that they are finally reunited in the
kingdom of the Lord.

Services will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 301 E. Spring St.
on Dec. 30. Visitation begins at 10 a.m., rosary at 10:30 a.m., with
