Diana P. Rodrigues, a beacon of love and strength, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025, in Strongsville, Ohio, at the age of 67. Born on August 6th, 1957, in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India, Diana's journey led her to touch the lives of many with her unwavering kindness and grace.
Diana, the loving wife of Royston Rodrigues for 45 remarkable years. Together, they built a life filled with joy, laughter, and an abundance of love. She was the cherished mother of Shane Rodrigues (Vanessa) and Abigail Ortiz (Jose). Diana's role as a grandmother to Alex and Isabella Ortiz was one she embraced with all her heart, showering them with love as gentle and boundless.
The daughter of the late Douglas and Elizabeth Harrison, Diana grew up in a vibrant household alongside her siblings Anslem Harrison, Caroline Ramrakhyani, Venisa D'Cruz, Quentin Harrison (Betty), Michelle Cooper (Keith), Melonie Nag (Sridip), and the late Lynette Moore (Walter).
