Lillie Delphine Rodrigo

Lillie Delphine Rodrigo, infant daughter of Paul J. and Felicia C. (Bentzel) Rodrigo, III, passed away Thursday, April 28, 2016 in Harrisburg Hospital.

In addition to her parents, Lillie is survived by her siblings, Koby, Kaleb, and Brysen Rodrigo; maternal grandmother Darlene L. Bentzel of York; and paternal grandparents, Paul and Sandra Rodrigo of Fairview Twp.

In the short time Lillie was with us she was described as a fighter, determined, and as having a feisty personality like her mother and father. Her chin, face and nose resembled her brothers Brysen and Koby. Lillie woke up after sleep the same as her father and brother Kaleb. All the while she was gentle and precious. The second toe on each foot was bigger than her big toe; another family trait she shared. We believe that when we get to see her eyes in heaven she will have her mother’s eyes. In her short time on earth she inspired more people than most adults will- to love harder, pray more often, hope longer, deepen their faith, pay it forward with compassion, and cherish the moments we take for granted. Lillie was the best birthday present from God her brother Kaleb will ever receive. She will not be forgotten and will be loved forever.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Saturday, May 14, 2016 in Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 2121 Roosevelt Ave. York, PA 17408 with the Pastor Skip Nizinski officiating. A visitation with the family will be held from 9:30 am – 11 am Saturday in the church.
