“Tonie” Antonia Rodriguez Luna passed away peacefully February 1, 2017 in Del Rio, Texas. Tonie was born to Ramona and Isidro Rodriguez May 10, 1930 in Del Rio, Texas. She was raised in Del Rio and attended local schools. She was the youngest of 9 children all who have predeceased her.

From this marriage were born five children: Gloria, Griselda, Victor III, Mario, and Roberto. She and Victor lived at the same house on Plaza Avenue for 69 years where they raised their family. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Glamorous, would be an understatement – she loved the finest things life had to offer. There was nothing more that she loved more than her family. She loved life...laughter, music, dancing...and FOOD!! She loved cooking – especially, her renowned Tamales. They made it to Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez’s office. And made their way to The Texas Governor’s Palace under Governor George H.W. Bush. Kissing and biting her grandchildren made her laugh hysterically... Anything her grandchildren did or said was “Bible”, parents were party-poopers! Grandma was usually the life of the party.

Martinez (Alonzo), and sons Victor III, and Roberto (Irma); grandchildren: Mark Anthony Valdez, Regina Maiale, (Bobby), Nicholas Galindo, Jr. (Eva), Debbie Luna-Garcia (Jose Luis), Jeannette Luna, Victor Luna IV, Mario Esteban Luna, Robert Luna Jr. (Viviana), Nicole Luna, Sara M.
