Tecla N. Rijo, 82 of Perth Amboy, NJ, passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side on Saturday, August 20, 2022.
Born in, San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, she lived in Perth Amboy for many years. Tecla, Do a Nohema as everyone knew her by, was a selfless soul who put the needs of others before hers. She was such a loving person! Even when she saw or heard of something bad that happened anywhere in the world, she would call her children to share it and you could feel the pain coming from her voice as she was talking about it.
Everyone who came in contact with her knows that the void she leaves in all our hearts can only be filled by the love and grace of God who she served for a very long time. She is now in heaven with him we have no doubt. We miss you so much Mami. We forever love you
