Lydia Rodriguez was a 42-year-old Texas resident who contracted COVID-19 during a church camp she attended with other members of her family. After being connected to a fan, the virus won her battle and she died last Monday.
The mother of four had claimed to be against the vaccine to think her body was strong enough to fight the virus.
According to the Washington Post, Rodriguez changed his mind about the vaccine when he was already hospitalized for the virus, but according to doctors, it was too late.
On the last call the woman made to her sister, she made him promise her something: “Please make sure my children get vaccinated.”
Rodriguez was a piano teacher in the city of Galveston.
The mother died two weeks after her husband, Lawrence Rodriguez, also died from complications of COVID-19.
They both fought the virus in the same hospital, separated by a few feet.
According to the marriage family at the Post, Lawrence was also vaccinated and three of his children are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but they had not.
