Elodia Rivera Vazquez

   Elodia Rivera Vazquez, a beloved matriarch, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026, at the age of 78. Born on September 18, 1947, in Mexico, she led a life rich with warmth, love, and an indomitable spirit that touched everyone around her.

   Elodia wore many hats throughout her life, predominantly embracing the role of a devoted housewife. Her legacy extends beyond her home and into the hearts of her family, as she dedicated herself to raising her children and nurturing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She often spoke of her proudest accomplishments being her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—a testament to her deep love and commitment to her family.

  With a personality that radiated love and warmth, Elodia created an inviting atmosphere for all who entered her life. Her hobbies included dancing and Zumba, where she would often bring a smile to others with her vibrant energy. Her passion for sewing and gardening further reflected her nurturing spirit; she found joy in creating beauty both inside and outside her home.

   Elodia leaves behind her loving husband, Jose Vazquez, and is survived by her cherished children, Joe (Pamela) Vasquez, Gerardo (Cristina) Vazquez, and Veronica (Emilio) Torres. She also adored her grandchildren: Monica, Marissa, Madelyn, Trenton, Kathy, Kailey, Kamilla, Emilio Jr., Cruz, Elizabeth, and Jose Emilio, whose lives she profoundly impacted with her love and guidance.

  She was predeceased by her parents, Fernando and Benilde Rivera, and her brothers, Fernando Rivera Jr. and Baldomero Rivera. They welcomed her with open arms into their eternal resting place.

  May the memory of Elodia Rivera Vazquez—this loving, warm-spirited woman—continue to inspire and uplift all those who had the privilege of knowing her.
