   Ruth Cuca Rodriguez
   
   ODESSA Ruth Cuca Rodriguez, age 74, of Odessa peacefully witnessed the
   face of God on Tuesday, June 26, 2001, at approximately 4:30 p.m. She
   was born in Seguin on May 5, 1927, and moved to Odessa in 1947 with
   her husband Doroteo Rodriguez. They were married June 18, 1946.
   Ruth had spent the majority of her life bringing people to the Lord.
   Her apostleship has been an example for many. Her ministry included
   the founding of the Charismatic movement in the Catholic community in
   Odessa in 1968. She coordinated Life in the Spirit sermons and
   participated in Charismatic conferences both as a leader and speaker.
   She served in all phases of lay ministry in the Catholic Church, and
   her most recent role was serving in the San Angelo Diocese as the
   Midland and Odessa Deanery representative for Servant of the Servants.
   She was best known by her family and friends for her ability to always
   serve and help those in need.
   Cuca was a tender, loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her children
   will remember her for all the great meals she prepared with love.
   Grandma was their Ally.
   She was preceded in death by a son, Dan Doroteo Rodriguez on Sept. 26,
   1986, and her parents, Juan and Consuelo Barrientes.
   She is survived by her husband, Doroteo Rodriguez of Odessa; sons, Leo
   L. Rodriguez of El Paso and Barney Albert Rodriguez of Corpus Christi;
   daughter, Dorothy Pepper and husband Steve of Odessa; brother, Henry
   Barrientes and wife Tomasa of Odessa; 10 grandchildren, Roland, Roxie,
   Yuri, Luke, Ty, Leslie, Leo, Steven, Ashley and Forrest; and two
   great-grandchildren, Christian and Samuel.
   Rosary will be said at noon today, June 28, 2001, at Frank W. Wilson
   Funeral Directors, and she will lie in state at 5 p.m. today at St.
   Anthonys Catholic Church before the Mass. Mass will be celebrated at 7
   p.m. today at St. Anthonys Catholic Church with the Revs. Bernard
