Devoted mother, daughter, and sister
WATERBURY – Amelia “LeeLee” Fernandez Rodriquez, age 44, departed this life unexpectedly on April 13, 2023, at Saint Mary’s Hospital.
LeeLee was born on November 18, 1978, in Waterbury, CT, the daughter of Amelia Fernandez and Ramon Rodriguez. LeeLee attended Waterbury public schools and graduated from Kennedy High School. In her early years, she was a childcare teacher and loved cosmetology. She used her creative skills doing hair and makeup for friends and family. LeeLee developed epilepsy in her 20’s and suffered from ongoing seizures. Still, LeeLee was full of life and loved people. Her smile brightened every room she entered. LeeLee enjoyed life by telling jokes, dancing, listening to music, eating her grandparents cooking, late night phone calls, and talking about “her boys”. Her boys were her everything. The love that she gave to us all will forever remain.
Left to honor her legacy and cherish her memory are her three kings; Armande Harrison, Micah and Messiah Daniels, whom she lovingly called “My Boys”. She also leaves her mother, Amelia Fernandez (Mimi) of Waterbury, CT, father, Ramon Rodriguez (Mancho) of Buffalo, NY, two sisters, Jusana Rodriguez of Waterbury, CT, and Imalay Rodriguez Ortiz of Buffalo, NY, grandparents, David C. Moore Jr. and Diane Moore of Waterbury, CT, special aunts and uncles Angela Rodriguez, Senna Moore, Robin Moore-Evans (Tony) and Uncle Tut, two nephews, Jalon and Ezequiel whom she adored, goddaughter, Marquisha Clark, cousins, Toni and Tyler Evans and Gabrielle Phillips, and special loves, Monique Wright, Devin, Clifton Daniels and Nyghia Moore.
