On Thursday, February 27, 2020, Faustina Anna Rivera passed away peacefully at home at the age of 91, surrounded by loving family. Faustina, endearingly known as “Tiny” to her friends and family, was born on August 24, 1928 in Oakland, California, to Anastacio and Anna Regalado. On July 17, 1948, Tiny married Chester Rivera, the brother of her closest friend, Rose. Together they raised four daughters, Connie, Kathy, Rosanne and Camille, and two sons, Rey and Jake. In addition to being a proud homemaker, Tiny worked for the State of California for many years, helping to find jobs for others seeking employment. In her spare time, she enjoyed immersing herself in arts and crafts, especially painting. Tiny was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Chester, her parents, Anastacio and Anna, her brother, Thomas Regalado, her sisters, Shirley Lennon and Caroline Brun, and her son-in-law, Larry Moore. She is survived by her six children, Connie Cracraft (Bill), Kathy Britton (George), Rey Rivera (Bonnie), Rosanne Wetzler (Jim), Camille Moore, and Jake Rivera, 13 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and eight great-great grandchildren, her sisters, Dora Gemoya and Carmen Bowman, her three brothers, Jerry Camba, Jimmy Camba and Benny Camba, and numerous nieces and nephews. Tiny will be laid to rest at Skyview Memorial Lawn, Vallejo, California.
