Cathleen RIVERA Obituary

Cathy was born on August 22, 1956, in Des Moines, Iowa. She spent many years living in Puerto Rico and Florida with her parents Peter (Pedro) and Joy Rivera Gonzales before relocating to the northwest.

Cathy worked as a Cement Mason, Volleyball referee, and Tupperware manager. She was loved and admired by many friends who considered her family. Cathy fought a fierce battle with cancer for six years and passed peacefully in the loving care of Hospice House North Spokane with her close friend Lauri by her side. She is survived by nephew Tyler Rivera (Nancy) and her friend Lauri Roberts (Tom Carey) and extended family, cousins, and a tremendous number of dear friends.

A memorial in her honor will be held July 17, 2022, at 4 pm, at The Onion North Spokane, 7522 N. Division, Spokane, WA. For additional information email [email protected].
