Kellie Jane Rivera

Kellie J Rivera (Boucher) was born on May 29th of 1981 in Australia to Bruce and Donna Boucher. She had an older brother, David and a younger brother, Luke. Her family eventually settled in Cambooya Australia. She graduated from Harristown High in 1998 then attended Uni where she graduated in 2002. A few months later she met her love of her life and future husband, Jon. After a world traveling romance, they were married on Sept 24 2005. Together, they began their US tour, living in Pennsylvania, New York then ultimately California, where they finally got settled in and made a family. Jamie, Kaden, Arielle and then Eleah joined them. Her children were everything to her and she excelled at the mother role. It's the truth that she was their biggest cheerleader and she was a "mother bear with cubs" defending and loving them fiercely. She loved watching them preform at events and kept a large calendar with every event written down-stopping her from missing one.

Kellie always loved animals and quickly after moving to California she began her career in animal care. She spent time with multiple clinics, making amazing friends and having great laughs for the next few years. She was known as the one you get when cats are being "spicy". She often bragged to her husband of her handling skills with them.

Kellie was taken from this world just after midnight on Dec 8th. She was instantly reunited with the ones who went before and was met at the gates of Heaven by Jesus. She strived during her life to be a light of joy to those around her. She succeeded.

Kellie leaves behind her husband of 19 years, Jon. Their children; Jamie, Kaden, Arielle and Eleah. Also her parents, parents in law, siblings, siblings in law and numerous nieces and nephews.

If you knew Kellie personally, knowing her was to love her. Her loss will be felt by all.
