January 26, 1953 - March 29, 2013
Wife of Horacio Oliveira Jr
Gone too soon, our beloved wife and mother, Margaret Jean Rodriguez Oliveira, 60, went to rest in the arms of the Lord on Good Friday, March 29, 2013, after a short illness. She was born on January 26, 1953, to Raymond and Hazel Rodriguez, who preceded her in death.
Margaret was an extraordinary woman with laughter in her heart and a never-ending smile. In 1971, she married the love-of-her life, Horacio Oliveira, Jr. She devoted her life to caring for her husband and for her three sons. It seemed that there was always a party at "the Oliveira Compound", but it was just that Margaret was always willing to open her home and her kitchen to her sons' friends. Many of these adopted sons and daughters ended up calling her "Mom." There was always music playing and a song in her heart.
Burial at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in Corpus Christi.
