Eladia T. Rivera's Obituary
Eladia “Yiya” Rivera brought joy, warmth, and love to everything she did. For over 60 beautiful years, she was the devoted wife of Victor Rivera, Sr., with whom she built a life rooted in love, laughter, and unwavering faith.
She was the proud mother of their only son, Victor Rivera, and a loving grandmother to Michelle, Victor Jr., and Vivian. Her legacy shines brightly through her great-grandchildren—Leilani, Olivia, and Emily—who were the light of her life.
Known for her ever-present smile, quick wit, and her ability to be the life of any party, Abuelita had a special gift for bringing people together. Her delicious meals, warm café, and heartfelt stories created a sense of home wherever she was. Whether she was offering comfort, sharing a laugh, or simply sitting beside you, her love was always felt.
She was the heart of our family—kind, nurturing, and unforgettable. Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit will continue to guide us, one meal, one laugh, and one cherished memory at a time.
We love you endlessly, Yiya, and we are forever grateful for the lifetime of love you gave so freely.
