Emily Ann Rodriguez

1989-2025

Emily was born on December 17, 1989, in Lynwood, California. Her struggle with multiple chronic illnesses ended at age 35, on the evening of Monday, May 5, 2025 in Lakeport, CA, her place of residence for approximately 10 years.

Emily's youth was spent in Long Beach, CA, and other surrounding cities, including Lynwood, Norwalk, and Downey. Emily enjoyed learning, and earned multiple degrees, including her Master of Legal Studies degree in 2019.

Emily was predeceased by her mother, Jeri L Osborn in 2011. She leaves behind her three amazing, beautiful children, Janine, age 13, Theodore, age 8, and Abygael, age 5, as well as Ocean, her shepherd/husky mix puppy. Also left behind are her father, Felix L.; four brothers, Felix T. and his wife, Cindy, Evan, Jake, and Elijah; nieces include Felix's daughters with Cindy, Jasmine and Liliana, and Jake's daughter with Mariel, Jeralynn. Emily had many good friends and people who were exceptionally close to her; many of her friend's children called her Auntie or Tia. She also leaves behind countless aunts, uncles, cousins and other family and friends who mourn her loss.

Emily's wishes were to be cremated without a large service, and for her remains to be spread at a special place in nature where she felt a strong connection to family.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider registering as an organ donor and documenting and sharing your after-life wishes with your loved ones before it's too late.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at The Vine Church 2801 North Towne Avenue Pomona, California. All are welcome - a potluck reception will follow.

Emily proudly identified as a member of House of Ravenclaw.
