Life story

Remembering our beloved Maria...

On August 30, 2023, Maria Yolanda Rodriguez was called home to rest in God's loving arms. Maria, known as Yolanda, was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on September 25, 1960, to Dinorah Baltazar Rodriguez and Ovidio Rodriguez.

Yolanda had a remarkable ability to overcome any obstacle and achieve her objectives. She was resilient even at a young age, proving she would always find a way to persevere. She had an exceptional career at Malden Mills, where she worked for 30 years and was an integral part of the Safety Committee. Yolanda was a proud graduate of Medical Assisting from The Lare Insitute in Andover, Massachusetts, earning her diploma in April 2018. Yolanda moved on to work as a defense contractor and assembler for Raytheon. Her sheer determination, brilliance, and excellence contributed to her success.

Beyond Yolanda's professional achievements, her awareness, fortitude, and kindness resonated throughout her beautiful life. She was loyal, observant, and grounded in faith with Our Lord Jesus Christ. She will be deeply missed by her loving daughters, Oribel Reyes, Ismarely Gabin, and Ariana Gabin. Yolanda leaves six grandchildren: Lianna Elise Reyes, Annali Reyes, Aliyahnelis Naylia Brito, Isael Alberto Jersey Brito, Oziah Alberto Jersey Brito, and Jaythien Rafael Gabin. Her family and friends remember her for her warmth, generosity, and unwavering support. Her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched and the memories she created.
