Jennifer Yvette Rivera

Jennifer Yvette Rivera, affectionately known as “Lady”, “MiMi”, and “Jen”, was born in Sheffield, Alabama, on December 10, 1966, to the late Annie Owens Rivera and the late JC Busbee. She departed this life peacefully in her home on April 22, 2024.

She graduated from Deshler High School, Tuscumbia, Alabama, in the Class of 1986. She confessed a hope in Christ at an early age at Mt. Hope MB Church, located at that time in the west end of Tuscumbia, Alabama.

She was well known for her love for fashions, and enjoyed styling hair, doing makeup, dancing, and the blues. Over the years, she enjoyed various jobs that involved helping others. A couple of years ago, she started a Christmas Backpack project to give to children of low-income families. She simply enjoyed life and loved people.
