Obituary for Melitta Rodriguez
A graveside service for Melitta Rodriguez will be held Wednesday November 29, 2023 at the Central Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in Leesville, LA at 11:00 AM.
Melitta was born in Braunschweig, Germany on March 31,1943 and passed away November 19, 2023 in Leesville, LA at the age of 80. After leaving her family and moving to the United States in 1960 from Germany, Melitta worked multiple jobs across the country before joining the Womens Corp in 1967 and served in San Fransisco, CA. Melitta would later move to Leesville, LA and open and run J&M Upholstery for over 20 years in Leesville. After retiring she enjoyed making macrame and crocheting gifts for all the businesses she frequented around town. She was always looking to give to everyone she met to brighten their day. Along with her love of giving was her love for animals. She never met an animal she did not love and was known to find injured animals and take them to her vet for treatment to get them better and release them back into the wild.
Melitta was preceded in death by her daughter Donna Kating of Prior, Oklahoma.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 28 years Gilberto (Rod) Rodriguez of Leesville, LA; daughter and son in law Tanya and Michael Edds of Leesville, LA; grandchildren Kyla Clemons and Hunter Clemons of Leesville, LA; a host of extended family in Braunschweig, Germany; her loving animals Daisy and Zeva.
