Pascua Yaqui mother and daughter were among first to die of COVID-19 in Arizona

Cecilia Rodriguez was celebrating her birthday when she last saw her mother and sister in the same room.

They were all living in her Tucson home. Her close-knit family are members of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe — a small tribe from northern Mexico with communities near Tucson and Guadalupe just south of Phoenix.

It was March 11 when people were still gathering, hugging, celebrating together.
