Carol Rivera, 62, of Lebanon, PA, sadly passed away unexpectedly on February 28th at 3:43 p.m. at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. She was a beautiful soul inside and out, and will always be remembered as a loving and extremely caring person. She loved cooking, crafting with her grandchildren, and gardening. She was so caring that she vowed to be an organ donor, and was able to give someone the gift of sight.

She is survived by her spouse of  33 years Julian Velez ,and her sons Juliano Velez, Luis Lopez, Shantol Velez, and Nicolas Agront, and daughter Christina Lopez-Devictora, including 15 grandchildren whom she loved very much. Over the last several years, Carol has overcome many obstacles but never gave up hope. She taught us never to lose faith and hope and that everything happens for a reason. She has left this world, but her spirit will always be around us. For we gain the strength to keep moving forward and honor and cherish what ever memories we hold dear to our hearts!  You may be gone, but never forgotten!  We love you to the moon and back, to infinity & beyond, forever and always.

until we meet again..
