Cynthia K. Rodriguez, 54

Cynthia K. Rodriguez, 54, of Toledo, passed away peacefully in the care of her loving family on Thursday, December 23, 2021. She was born October 11, 1967, in Cadillac, MI to the late Gilberto and Barbara (Foster) Rodriguez and served in the United States Army from 1988-92.

In her free time Cyndie enjoyed doing crafts, especially Diamond Dots, and building things. She had a heart for others and was actively involved in a charity that collected materials, built, and delivered beds to children who were in need. Cyndie also caringly offered respite care for foster children. She was a huge fan of the Michigan Wolverines. Cyndie was fiercely loyal and an inspiration to many with her display of strength in fighting cancer for more than two decades. Most importantly, she was a devoted and loving mother and grandmother. 

Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Cassie (Josh) Smith, Alex (Brandon) Fowler, Chelsea (Shane) Collins, Adrianna (Jeff) Agan, and Cydnie Gillilan; six grandchildren who were the light of her life, Colin Coleman, Carter Smith, and Colbie Smith, Brynlie Fowler, Zayd Fowler, and Adeline Collins; siblings, Linda Rodriguez, Michelle (Tweety) Suggs, Angelo (Mira) Rodriguez, and Tracey (Rob) Vogel; and her canine companion, Chaos. 

She was also preceded in death by siblings, Gilberto Rodriguez, Jr., Alberto Rodriguez, Martha Wittig, and Mickey Rodriguez. 

Graveside services with military honors by the United States Army will be held at 2 p.m., Tuesday, December 28, 2021, at Great Lakes National Cemetery, 4200 Belford Road, Holly, MI 48442. Contributions are suggested to the family by way of walkerfuneralhomes.com.
