Lariza Jenn Rivera

October 10, 1988 — June 15, 2025

Lariza Jenn Rivera, known fondly as Jenn or LJ, passed away on June 15, 2025, after bravely fighting cancer with unmatched strength and resilience. Born on October 10, 1988, her spirit was a beacon of positivity and vibrancy that touched the lives of many. Jenn was an exceptional nurse, dedicating her career to caring for others. She worked at various organizations, including Park Vista Healthcare, Park Anaheim Healthcare Center, Good Heart Hospice, OC Global Medical Center, and Orange County Juvenile Health Services, often holding multiple roles simultaneously. Her commitment to her profession was overshadowed only by her joy for life.

A proud graduate of the University of the Cordilleras, Jenn earned her BS in Nursing and also obtained a nursing degree from Cal State Loma Linda. Her education laid the foundation for a fulfilling career where she not only provided care but also uplifted and inspired those around her. Jenn was a generous soul who always shared her kindness to everyone she encountered. She valued her family so much and she dedicated everything she did in life for them. Jenn's lively personality captivated everyone she met; she lived exuberantly, loved wholeheartedly, and laughed boisterously. Always searching for new experiences, she sought out adventures such as hot air balloon rides, skydiving, snowboarding, and even crashing swimming pools during summertime fun. Her love for life extended to her fondness for food and her passion for singing her heart out, creating countless joyful moments with family and friends.

Jenn had a unique talent for bringing people together, often igniting celebrations that were infused with laughter and festive decorations, marking every holiday with her signature flair. Her legacy will continue through the cherished memories she created and the lives she changed.

She is survived by her loving husband, JR; her dear aunt, Eleanor; her caring sisters, Joy and Kaykay; her beloved nephew, Enzo; and her supportive brother-in-law, Patrick. Jenn is preceded in death by her father, Torribio Rivera, and her mother, Eudocia Naval Rivera, who will both be waiting with open arms to embrace her once again.
