Rose A. Rodriguez, age 67, passed away on Sunday, June 26, 2022.

Born in Lumberton, North Carolina, she was a daughter of Dizzy Dean Locklear and the late Shirley Ray Lowry. Rose retired after 22 years of loyal service with Sumter County Animal Control. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She spent her evenings sitting in her rocking chair on the porch, listening to her windchimes. She will be remembered as a loving mother, sister, "mema" and friend.

In addition to her father, she is survived by her significant other, Matilde Sauceda of Sumter; two children, Jesse Rodriguez of Sumter and Amanda Rodriguez Holland and her husband, Bill, of Camden; one brother, Terry Locklear and his wife, Linda, of Sumter; four grandchildren, Destiny Hockenberry, Dakota Rodriguez and his wife, Brittany, Sophia Holland and Gracie Holland; and one great-grandchild, Whaylon Hayes.

In addition to her mother, she was preceded by two brothers, Willis Locklear and Ronnie Dean Locklear; and one sister, Sue Hodges.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Bullock Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be held at 7 p.m., following the visitation.

A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday in the Anderson Funeral Home Cemetery, Beaufort.
