Pura Rivera Miranda March 14, 1928 – January 29, 2018 An extraordinary human being is gone. Mother of three, Hedda, Nestor (deceased) and Linda, grandmother of ten, Hedda Ivette (Eve), Maileen, Diego, Jael, Jesse, Deborah, María (Gigi), Angel (Achee), Evan & Alejandro and mother-in-law to Angel (Puruco) and José Luis. A very strong woman, but also a loving and caring person, loved by everyone who knew her. Born to Monserrate Rivera and Delfina Miranda, she was the youngest of three. She worked as a seamstress for a bridal shop and later continued to sew for a living, making bridal dresses, prom gowns and other special and everyday wear. She was a fighter as she took care of her elderly parents and raising her children as a single mother with great sacrifice but with strong values and great care, always placing the children’s needs above herself. She was also known for her culinary skills, as a cook and baker who loved to share her specialties with family and friends. She was a devoted God servant and held to her beliefs even during her 15 year battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Her departure will leave an emptiness in our hearts, as she will be greatly missed, but the love and memories she left with us will remain. For further information you may call 704-545-3553
