Alejandrina was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on May 3rd, 1939, to Constancia and Leon Lara. She graduated from pharmaceutical college in Mexico and immigrated to America to pursue cosmetology. She became certified as an esthetician and electrolysis technician and married Esteban Rivera Jr on April 10th, 1970. They were lovingly married for an eventful and never boring, 54 years.
She enjoyed painting, dancing, listening to music, and was an avid seamstress. She was a collector who gathered keepsakes from around the world, elephant figurines, stamps, and coins. She was always actively involved in the catholic church’s choir, children’s activities, and welcoming committees. She loved to sing and feared no one and nothing but God himself.
Alejandrina is preceded in death by her parents, siblings, and youngest son Jesus Rivera. She is survived by her husband Esteban Rivera, oldest son Miguel Rivera, granddaughter Michaela Rivera Longoria, and six great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her caring nieces, in Mexico.
