Damaris "Mari" Rivera, 59, of Chesapeake, Virginia, went to be with the Lord on December 22, 2024.

Colon; her cherished grandchildren, Christopher, Luna, and Lucian; her father, Edelmiro Rivera; her brothers, Edelmiro Rivera Jr. and Roberto Maldonado-Rivera; and her sister, Rebecca Rivera. She was preceded in death by her mother, Antonia Rivera, and her sister, Deborah Rivera. Known for her infectious laugh and playful sense of humor, Damaris brought joy to those around her. Her deep faith and love for God were evident in her passion for singing and worshiping. Above all else, she adored her grandchildren, who were the light of her life and a source of immense pride. Damaris passed away at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital due to complications from ongoing health conditions. Her unwavering spirit and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
