Sallie M. Rodriguez

Sallie M. Rodriguez, age 75 of Le Sueur and formerly of St. Peter, passed away on November 6, 2026 at The Carriage House Assisted Living in Le Center, MN. Service arrangements are pending.

Sallie was born on January 5, 1951, in Le Sueur, MN, to Ralph and Ellen (Rogers) Studer. She spent much of her childhood growing up in the Le Sueur area and attended Le Sueur High School. During her senior year, Sallie married and began a new chapter in her life. Although the marriage would later end in divorce, she was blessed with her two children, Shannon & Brian.

To know Sallie was to know laughter, a little mischief, and a whole lot of personality. She was a true goofball at heart, and she wasn't the least bit afraid to show it. Whether she was breaking out into a spontaneous dance or making one of her famous faces, Sallie had a special way of bringing a smile to those around her.

Along with her love for laughter, Sallie had an especially soft spot in her heart for animals. An avid animal lover, she adored the many fur babies who were lucky enough to be part of her life throughout the years. They were much more than pets to Sallie. They were part of her family and always held a special place in her heart.

Sallie is survived by her children, Shannon Rodriguez and Brian Rodriguez of Mankato, MN; grandchildren, Shanda Rodriguez of Mankato, MN, and Dylan (Nicole Barnett) Lutter of Le Center, MN; great-granddaughter, Londyn; as well as many other relatives and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents; other relatives and friends; and her fur babies, Mongo, Beethoven, Muffy, Buffy, Tabby, Fefe and Punkie.
