Luz (aka Millie) went home to rest with Jesus on November 11, 2020 at her home surrounded by loved ones.

Born and raised in Adjuntas, PR to Elizabeth Pacheco and Juan Bernard she was the youngest of 11 siblings with Frank Bernard being her last surviving brother. In 1968 Luz came to settle in West Chester Pennsylvania where she met her late husband of 33 years Juan F Rivera.

She is survived by her grandchildren Ryan, Annabel, Jake, AmandaLyn, Nicolas, Kayla, Morrie, Angie and Trinity. Also added to the surviving immediate family, we must acknowledge our honorary sister, mom’s home house aid Maria.
