Basilia "Leen" Rivera
May 18, 1943 - September 26, 2021
Basilia “Leen” Rivera, 78, of North Olmsted, Ohio passed away on September 26, 2021. She was born on May 18, 1943 in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico to the late Jose Rivera DeJesus and Andrea Rivera Pagan. Basilia will be fondly remembered for the love she had for her family, especially her grandchildren. She spent many years cultivating her home in to a place of happiness and safety. Basilia paid close attention to detail and found great joy in keeping her house tidy; and the wonderful aroma of homecooked meals permeated the air as she welcomed family in to her fold. She filled her life with travel, enjoyed casinos, and spoiled those around her with fresh mojitos and trips to Wasabi for quality time and great memories. She will be deeply missed by those who loved her best. Loving mother of Basilla Dolores Mesas (deceased), Brenda Mesas, and Glenda Mesas; cherished grandmother of Michael Luis Toney, Jayleen Toney, and Tristan Sealy; treasured great-grandmother of Myracle Smarr, and Michael Luis Toney Jr; dear sister of Ana Maria Escalera, Rufino Rivera, and Juana Rivera. Private services will be held for Basilia. Mass of Christian Burial will take place virtually on Friday, October 8, 2021 at 4:00 PM.
