Vicki Rivera

Vicki Staritz Rivera passed away peacefully on November 19, 2015, after a fierce and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Vicki was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on November 23rd, 1946. She later moved to Utah, then settled in Idaho.

She was an avid golfer and loved to travel. She kept a very active social life and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was a hostess extraordinaire, theme parties were her specialty.

There was never a dull moment when Vicki was around. She had an infectious laugh and wicked sense of humor. Vicki was known for pulling epic pranks and having pom-poms and tap shoes in her trunk.

Vicki felt her greatest achievement was her seven girls. She always said anyone can mix it up. It takes talent to have girls. She was always there to offer support in her girls' interests. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and will be missed dearly.

Vicki is survived by her beloved husband Mike Rivera, her three daughters and four granddaughters, Suzette and Cloe' Carter, Amy (Casey) and Lyla Thompson, Lynsey Nielson and Sevana and Alyssa Spoklie.
