Born on January 12, 1956, in Acuña, Coahuila, to Lorenzo Rodriguez and Francisca Vasquez, Francisca
lived a life defined by dedication, resilience, and love. As a single, fiercely hardworking mother, she spent
many years serving her community, first at Estela’s Cafe and later at Garibaldi's Mexican Restaurant. She
became a beloved neighborhood fixture, famously known by everyone for her incredible, delicious
homemade flour tortillas. Beyond her hard work, Francisca possessed a deeply generous spirit and was

She has been reunited in eternal peace with her parents; her common-law husband, Juan Daniel
Hernandez; her daughter, Luz Maria Rodriguez; and her sister, Blanca Rosa Blanco.
