Jennifer Young Rivera

Born July 22, 1983 walked into eternity on June 6, 2017.

Jenny was a blessing to her parents. Jenny blessed the lives of those she touched from the time of her early arrival to the day of her early departure due to pulmonary embolisms. Jen was raised in Riverton Utah. Jen had a love for her savior Jesus Christ from a very early time in her life. Jen was raised with her siblings Brian, Julie, Greg, and Brandon they were her first and best friends throughout her life. Jenny was also close to her cousins and considered everyone in the Riverton 10th ward her best friends.

Jen loved softball, riding bikes and being outside. Jen loved Jane Austin's works and could be found reading the classics. Her favorite Christmas present was her own leather bound scriptures and marking kit along with a metronome. At the time she was in the youth symphony playing the cello. There was not any genre of music Jen didn't enjoy.

The very best day of her life was the day she met David Victor Rivera. Jenny came home from their first date. I looked at her with her beautiful Blue Eyes as she exclaimed "Best Date Ever". David's love brightened her life and gave her what she needed most, his eternal adoration. They were married April 25, 2014 In the Salt Lake Temple. They resided in Syracuse Utah and in time were blessed with their daughter Alayna Rose Rivera who they loved and adored. Jen loved being a Mom.

She is survived by her husband David and her daughter Alayna Rose, parents Kent and Jennette Young, brother Brian Young (Natalie), brother Brandon Young (Kristen) sister in Law Summer Young and grandfather James E. Jorgensen. Jenny also left behind six nephews and nieces who she cherished. Many cousins and Aunts and Uncles. All knew she loved them dearly. Jenny was welcomed home by those who proceeded her. Grandmother Norma Clegg Young and Doris Laursen Jorgensen, grandfather Max Leo Pierce, brother Gregory Young (tiger), sister Julie Young and aunt LuJean Edwards. It is only due to the loving arms she was welcomed by that makes it possible to let her leave.
