Beatrice Griego Rivera also known as Auntie Bobby or friend Bea, age 89, a native of Albuquerque, passed away peacefully at her home in Croom, Maryland on Friday, September 18, 2020.
Beatrice was born in on March 3, 1931, to Demetrio and Guadalupe Griego. Beatrice was one of ten siblings and leaves behind her loving and remaining sister, Angelina "Jello" Jiménez of McAllen, Texas.
Beatrice graduated from Albuquerque High School in 1948, attended the Albuquerque Business College, and later worked as a telephone operator for the "Bell" system until 1956.
Beatrice married her "next door" neighbor with whom she had known since the age of one. Beatrice built and co-owned Rivera Masonry with her husband, Carpio Rivera where they contributed to the structural landscape and history of New Mexico. After Carpio's death in 2006, Beatrice rotated time living with many of her children and eventually settled in Upper Marlboro, MD with her youngest son, John and his wife, María. Beatrice was blessed with 24/7 care and a view of a beautiful farm surrounded by many of God's creatures.
Beatrice was an avid reader and known to read three books at a time. Beatrice often provided words of wisdom, many of which resulted in memorable "mom" quotes. With over 60 nephews and nieces, she always found time for sharing a meal and fond memories of all of their parents. Beatrice detailed over 60 years of her life and all of her relationships in volumes of journals.
Beatrice leaves behind so many friends and relatives who loved and admired her and she will be missed but never forgotten.
Beatrice was preceded in death by her husband, Carpio Rivera.
Beatrice is survived by her sons and daughters, Paul M. Rivera and life partner, Diana E. Francois, James L. Rivera and his wife, Chong Un (Une) Rivera, Thomas A.
