It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Maribel Rivera. She was born with a rare genetic disorder called Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Maribel was a shining light in the lives of everyone who knew her, a beloved daughter, sister, niece, aunt and friend. She filled every space with laughter, joy, and above all, love. Her contagious laugh and playful spirit could brighten anyone’s day. Maribel cared deeply for her family and friends, always reaching out and showing up with her whole heart. She touched our lives in countless ways, she taught us compassion, patience, and to enjoy the little things. We are so blessed that we had her in our lives and to be able to have had such wonderful memories with her.

To honor her memory, we have created a GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral expenses. Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you share this with others.
