Magdalena

Medellin

Magdalena R. Medellin, 90, gained her heavenly eternal reward, January 10, 2021. She was born in Clarkwood, TX February 18,1930 to Inez and Guadalupe Rodriguez. She moved to the Rio Grande Valley in her early years where she met her husband Juan Medellin.

Magdalena ran a small successful convenient store for a few years and later closed it down to concentrate on the care of her parents. She was a provider for her parents for numerous years until each of their passing.

Maggie was known for her skill in the kitchen. Whether it be as simple as having beans on the stove or a full-blown Thanksgiving feast, she could do it all. Quite the conversationalist, she loved being the host. If you were coming to visit, whoever you were, family or friend, you were being fed (whether you'd already eaten or not). She would sit right down with you at the table snacking while you ate and attentively listening to you talk about your day.

All plans were made revolving around what Maggie had planned. She was quite the character and will be deeply missed. We have physically lost our Matriarch, but we are at comfort knowing she is now basking in the glory of our Lord and Savior.

She is preceded in death by her parents Inez and Guadalupe Rodriguez, brothers Clemente Rodriguez and Jesus Rodriguez, sisters Juanita Leija, Maria Rodriguez, Aurora Castillo, and her beloved son in law Miguel (Mike) Valdez.

She is survived by her loving husband of 64 years Juan Medellin, Brothers Francisco (Simona)Rodriguez, Tomas Rodriguez (Amparo), Son Juan Jose Medellin (Gracie), Daughter Lillie Garcia (Sebastian), Daughter Yolanda Valdez (Mike+), Son Peter Medellin (Marisela), 7 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and her Roelito.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the funeral will be private. Please be safe, stay home, and include her in your prayers.
