Elizabeth Rivera, age 79, peacefully fell asleep at home on August 18, 2020 surrounded by her four children, their spouses, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nephew. She married the love of her life Jose Rivera who proceeded her in death in 2012 after 55 happy years of marriage.
Elizabeth is survived by her four children Maribel, Jose, Elizaida and Julie; loving mother in law to David, Annette, Gerardo and Michael. Doting grandmother of 6; Jessenia, Jovanny, Joel, Jonathan, Jonaiss, and Jalesse and their spouses Eddie, Kelly, Vianey and Kevin. Joyful great-grandmother of 9; Luna, Mia, Jacob, Devin, Aiden, Kaelyn, Cristina, Lilliana, and baby Josiah. Caring sister to 6 living siblings out of 12; Samuel, Hector, Moises, Benjamin, Neftali and Gloria.
Elizabeth loved Jehovah God and was faithful and devoted in doing his will, that of preaching and teaching others about him and that of his son Jesus. She loved to read the bible and her bible based publications over and over again.
She always sacrificed her needs for the good of her children, grandchildren, and all of her family, She would enjoy a good conversation and laugh over coffee with her children, family or friends.
She loved the beautiful Island of Puerto Rico. She was an avid gardener with an incredible gift. Everything she touched would blossom even when there was no hope. She would name them and talk them back to health. She cultivated a beautiful colorful display of flowers in her Puerto Rico garden. She enjoyed watching her favorite bird, the hummingbirds feed right outside her bedroom window.
She was a great cook and found purpose and delight in sharing her delicious cooking with her family and neighbors. She loved animals, crocheting, sewing and singing kingdom melodies and Spanish classic folk songs. She was such a loving and caring woman.
Her life was a blessing. Her memory a treasure. She was loved beyond words and is missed beyond measure.
She leaves nothing but beautiful memories and a void in our hearts. We trust and find comfort in Gods promise found in Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds."
Your children, grandchildren, family and friends will wait patiently until you answer when Jehovah calls. (Job: 13-15, John 6:40)
