Irma Yolanda Rivera

Irma was born on January 28, 1964 in Tijuana, Mexico to San Juana Martinez De Sanchez. She built her life around her family. She showed up. She stayed strong. She loved her grandson, Connor, and cherished every moment with him.

Family mattered most to her. She loved being a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a pet lover. She kept her family close, even across distance. She left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, Juan Rivera; her daughter, Selena Rivera; her son, Corey Gill; her daughter-in-law, Erin Perry; her grandson, Connor Gill; and her mother, San Juana Martinez De Sanchez.

She is also survived by her siblings: San Juana Bretado-Ortiz, Maria De La Luz Sanchez, Bernardino Sanchez, Leticia Meraz, Eleazar Sanchez, Israel Sanchez, Vicente Sanchez, Claudia Sanchez, and Lauro Sanchez.

A church service will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, 345 Anita St, Chula Vista, CA 91911.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to donate to the American Cancer Society:
