Peggy Ann Minjarez was born on August 26, 1955 in San Jose California to her parents Ruth Bueno and Manuel Rodriguez. She attended grade school in San Jose where she graduated from Overfelt High School. She later went on to build a fulfilling career in the semiconductor industry, helping manufacture computer chips. Her gift of serving others led her into banquet catering, followed by a position in the deli and bakery department at Safeway, where she engaged in uplifting conversations with her coworkers and customers alike.

Faith and service were important parts of Peggy’s life. She found her spiritual home at New Dimension Deliverance Center back in 1997 as she became part of the Women’s outreach bible study. In 2001 she became an active member of New Dimension Deliverance Ministries where her dedication to the hospitality department reflected her heart and desire to serve others.

Peggy loved cooking, bowling when she could earlier in life, and the best part was spending time with her family. Her Grand children and Great-Grandchildren stole her heart. Known for her hardworking nature, she also loved reaching out to her neighbors and staying connected with distant family members. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome.

Peggy was the cherished daughter of Ruth Bueno and Manuel Rodriguez who preceded her in death, sister of Thomas Rodriguez and her late brothers, Dennis and Michael Rodriguez. She was the dedicated wife of Baltazar Minjarez for 49 years. She leaves to cherish three children: Francisco, Carolyn, and JonManuel Sr. She was blessed with ten grandchildren—Jasmine, Elizabeth, Martin Jr., Chris, Dominique, Ezekiel, Timothy, JonManuel Jr., Victoria, Isabella(deceased), and Joshua. Lastly, four great-grandchildren Liliana, Emilio, Killua, and Mason who brought her much joy.

Although Peggy is no longer with us, her love lives on through the memories she created and the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
