Aracelis Rivera

June 24, 1942 — October 3, 2021

Our beloved mother, Aracelis Rivera, went home to be with the Lord on October 3, 2021. She was born in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico in 1942, and had a brief career as a beautician before she met and married Henry Velez in 1966. The couple moved to southern California where they raised three children and she worked as a teacher’s aide and school crossing guard.



For the past 14 years, she’s lived in the Willamette Valley near her sons. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her knew she had a kind heart, a generous spirit, and a beautiful smile. She loved to craft, crochet, puzzle, and spend time with her family.


She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Elke of Fairburn, GA; sons Henry Jr. (Amy) of Keizer, OR, and Tito (Jennyse) of Salem, OR; grandchildren, Gabe, Chris, Alyna, Andrea, Nicole, Hannah, and Henry; great-granddaughter Arianna; sisters Raquel, Noemi, and Elizabeth; brothers Angel and Moises; and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband Henry, grandson Isaiah, and brothers Efrain and Esteban.



She is now with the Lord God her Savior; may she rest in peace. We love and miss you, mom.
