Obituary

Margarita (Rodriguez Gonzales) Colon, age 76, passed away on September 21, 2021, at Baystate Medical Center. She was born on December 30, 1944, in Caguas, Puerto Rico, a daughter of the late Jose Rodriguez and Saturna Gonzalez. She never liked the cold so it’s fitting she took off before the first day of fall. Margarita was a wife, daughter, sister, grandma, and great-grandma. She was a true ride or die. You could always count on GMA! She loved her children. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well and was always there to help raise and love them. Her family was everything to her. She loved watching award shows, Hallmark movies and couldn't resist The Bachelor despite how much she disagreed with who got a rose or who didn't. Margarita was caring, generous and at times a feisty woman who wouldn't back down but could make you feel like family the moment you met her. Her love was unlike anything else. We are eternally grateful for all the memories and unconditional love. She will be terribly missed. She is survived by 2 daughters, Blanca Rodriguez and her husband David of Chicopee and Sonia Barretto of Leominster; her son, Felix Colon Jr. of Ware. She leaves behind her beloved grandchildren: Erica and her husband PJ Torres, David and his wife Adriana Rodriguez, Adrianna and her wife Ashley Rodriguez, Seania and her husband Ryan Caneen, Raya, Robbie and his wife Monica Lugo. 5 beloved great-grandchildren, Gabriel, Landen, Kyler, Harper, Nyana and one baby girl on the way. 7 great furry grandchildren Buddy, Coco, Louie, Charlie, Boomer, Majin, and Mojo. 4 sisters, Petra Rodriguez of Springfield, Carmin Shaver of Springfield, Mercedes Ramos of Springfield, and Gloria Hunter of Holyoke; She is predeceased by her siblings Rafael Rodriguez, Adrian Gonzalez, Hermina Rodriguez, and Ana Febo. All services will be private at a later date. The Grise Funeral Home is entrusted with arrangements.
