Obituary of Venessa "Nessa" Rodrigues
Venessa Ariana Lee Rodrigues of Innisfil, ON passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 21 on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
Venessa grew up in Bradford surrounded by family and friends who deeply loved and cared for her. As well as Bradford and Innisfil, Venessa also lived in Barrie in her life and she impacted others everywhere she went. She had a glow that could light up a room and her kindness touched many throughout her life. Venessa graduated from St Joan of Arc secondary school in Barrie in 2020 and since her time in high school, she blossomed into a wonderful young adult. She was living life to the fullest, learning new things, travelling and enjoying many new experiences with family and friends. She was a wonderful, strong, calm, sensitive, and beautiful girl whose smile was as big as her heart. Venessa enjoyed family gatherings, the outdoors, travelling and spending time with animals. She was a very hard worker and loved serving regular customers at Stacked who would request to be served by her.
Venessa is survived by her Mom Lori (Viaene), Dad Fernando, her three brothers Alexander, Konor, and Aiden, and a very close-knit group of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who all loved her to the moon and back. “Nessa” will be missed dearly and remembered forever by her loving family and friends.
