MABEL D. RIVERA

DECEMBER 9, 1943 - DECEMBER 26, 2023

It is with heavy hearts and tremendous sorrow that we mourn the passing of our kind, generous, beautiful, loving, caring, wise compassionate, bold and loved-by-so-many Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Godmother, and Friend Mabel D. Rivera. As a volunteer and through her community church, Mabel served the LORD as a longtime member of the Catholic Daughters Association and also lifelong service as a Social Worker for the State of New Mexico, helping and touching as many hearts as she could in her lifetime. Her love and passion to help those in need will always be admired and never forgotten. She continues her soulful journey in the Heavenly realm with her recently deceased Husband and Soulmate Juan R., as she was called back home by our Heavenly Father on December 26, 2023 after an extensive and wearisome illness. Thank you to everyone who surrounded her with love and prayers through her transition…She will be forever deeply missed.

Mabel is preceded in death by her Husband Juan R.(10/18/2023), Parents Florentino and Matilda M., Sister Katherine C., Brother Florentino Jr. M., and Sister-In-Law Erlinda R. (12/13/2023), Sister/Brother-In-Law Romie and Gilbert A.

Mabel is survived by her children Anna R., Estevan R., Enrique(Alex) R., Grandchildren Sophia B., Reina R., Elisa R. Brothers Phillip M., Carlos M., Joseph M., Sisters Herlinda C., Rose A., Dubie B. Sister-In-Law Susan R. and many Nieces, Nephews and Godchildren.

Services will be held Friday, January 26, 2024 at ST. Anthony’s Parish in Pecos, NM with a Rosary @ 10am, Mass @ 11am and burial following immediately after at the Pecos Cemetery.
