MELROSE — Miassoti Rodriguez, 41, died on July 25 with her loving family beside her in Melrose.
She was a beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend to many. Mia was born February 17, 1976, in Boston to Carmen N. Corredor and Hector Rodriguez. Her interest included spending time with her family, music and cars. Her talents included being an exceptional hair barber, piano player, mechanic and having a funny sense of humor. She devoted much of her time and energy to her children and stepchildren.
Mia, short for Miassoti, was named from her mom after the Forget-Me-Not Flower. Let’s remember her words “make time for the important things, family”
“Judge no one.”
“Love heals all.”
Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong doings. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always, always perseveres.”
Mia is at peace with the Lord she had a dream earlier this month that he was carrying her.
Until we see each other again, let’s keep laughing, loving, and living.
Mia is survived by her two sons, Neil O. Franjul and Manolo I. Hernandez, She is also survived by her siblings, Maria Ruiz Younger, Jessica Frazier Rodriguez, Moises Rodriguez, MiaElizabeth Morales, Jimel Garcia, Junito Rodriguez, Natalie N. Ayala Arroyo and Reagan Rodriguez. Her sweet dog Isaiah and her 16 nieces and nephews also survive her.
