Alberta Rivera

Mountain Mail/STPNS

June 19, 2008

SOCORRO, New Mexico (STPNS) -- Alberta Marie Jaramillo Rivera, 59, left this world to be with God in Heaven surrounded by her loving family Friday, June 13, 2008, in Albuquerque, N.M.  

She was born March 21, 1949. Alberta lived with her surviving family: her husband, Lawrence, and children: Peter, Paul, Jennifer, Andrei, Katy, Mykal and Armando.  

She is also survived by her parents of Socorro, N.M., Tony and Gloria Jaramillo Sr., sister, M.J. Wilde, of Albuquerque; brothers: Tony Jaramillo Jr. and wife, Gloria; Gary Jaramillo; Noah Jaramillo and wife, Rebecca, of Socorro; Jonathan Jaramillo and wife, Teresa, of Connecticut; and Stuart Jaramillo and wife, Monique, of Albuquerque.  She is also survived by many loving nephews, nieces, uncles and aunts and wonderful lifetime friends.  

Alberta was given a beautiful gift, her granddaughter, Issabella Marie, two months prior to her passing. Issabella brought joy to her heart. Alberta was preceded in death by her younger brother, Christopher Gene Jaramillo, in June 2007 and her daughter, Mina, in March of 1993.

Alberta was a foster mother to more than 200 children in her lifetime and was truly a giver of life and hope to any and all children who needed her. Her compassion and genuine love for children and anyone else she ever met was a true inspiration to all. Her kind and gentle nature will never be forgotten by those who had the privilege of knowing her.  

Alberta's rosary and mass were at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Peralta, N.M. Funeral arrangements by French Mortuary of Albuquerque, N.M. Any donations in her memory should be sent to the American Cancer Society or New Mexico Foster Care. The family would like to thank those for attending the services and everyone who sent flowers, food, cards, prayers and kind words at our time of loss.  

Our family will continue to pray for the health and well-being of all others.
