Shirley Ann Rodriguez

Our sweet Aunt Shirley Ann Rodriguez, 89, of Clarksburg passed away peacefully at Salem Center Genesis on April 3, 2026 following an extended illness.

She was born in Pine Bluff, WV, on August 26, 1936, the daughter of the late Florentino Rodriguez and Ramona Gonzalez Rodriguez.

She is survived by several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, great-great-nieces and nephews and great-great-great-nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.

Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by two infant sisters, two brothers and sisters-in-law: Joseph Rodriguez and his wife Sue and Andres Rodriguez and his wife Virginia, five sisters and brothers-in-law: Mary Isabella Cattaneo and her husband Leonard, Mary Virginia Felosa and her husband Carl, Estella Ravenscroft and her husband Alan, Catherine Pratt Williams and her husband Wendel, and Eileen Hamlin and her husband James F. Hamlin, Sr. She was also preceded in death by her beloved sister, Frances A. Sanders, with whom she shared a home after their mother’s death. Several nieces and nephews also preceded her in death.

She was Catholic by faith and a past member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Immaculate Conception Parish. Her favorite pastime was watching westerns, and she often referred to them as “her cowboys.” She was fond of John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie. Her afternoons consisted of watching soap operas with her mother and sister, never missing an episode until they were cancelled on cable TV. Every evening, she tuned into WBOY to check the weather forecast and had the privilege of a photoshoot with one of her favorite weathermen, Jason Parrish. Her favorite craft was making necklaces and bracelets from beads and gifting them to everyone she met. She welcomed many family and friends into her home and enjoyed family gatherings. After meeting you and memorizing your birthday, she would call you every year to wish you a “Happy Birthday.”

Her family appreciates the great care she received from the staff at the nursing center.

Family and friends may call at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home, 201 Edison Street, Nutter Fort on Thursday, April 9, 2026 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, where Catholic Funeral Rites will be accorded at 12:00 pm with Father Kumar Reddimasu as Presider.
