Elva Rivera Treviño
July 12, 1936 – July 11, 2025

Elva Rivera Treviño was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a devoted servant to her community. She lived a life marked by kindness, grace, and unwavering dedication — to her family, her work, and her faith. With her sharp wit and tireless spirit, she poured love into the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Born to Manuela and Vicente Rivera, who preceded her in death, Elva brought warmth and compassion to all who knew her.

She is lovingly remembered by her children, Abygail Elizondo (Sergio) of Harlingen, Texas, Linda Beebe (Craig) of Golden, Illinois, Pedro Treviño, Jr. & Jesus (Alicia) Treviño of Harlingen, Texas; James Treviño of Springboro, Ohio, and Ray (Melly) Treviño of Oklahoma, and her loving lifelong beloved who adored her & took care of her to the very end, Pedro Trevino. She is also preceded in death by her son, Vicente Rivera.

Elva dedicated more than 30 years of her life to the nursing profession, proudly earning her RN and serving others with skill and heart. Her calling to help others extended beyond her career — after retirement, she continued to serve her community. She volunteered for 10 years as director of the San Benito Food Bank and gave three years of dedicated service to Veterans Affairs, supporting those who had served our country. Her unwavering commitment to the San Benito Seventh-day Adventist Church and its food pantry ministry was a true reflection of her faith and compassion.

Outside of her service to others, Elva found joy in life's simple moments — spending time with her family and the loyal companionship of her beloved dog, Uno. These moments brought her peace and fulfillment.

Elva's memory will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
