Alivra was a sweet lady I worked with her when she was an instructional aide and later a bus driver for Lucerne Elementary. Cheered with her on the sidelines whether it be Volleyball, basketball, softball or football. She was always there for her children and grandchildren. May all that knew you keep your memories .
