Taina Rivera

August 13, 2002 — July 31, 2020

Taina Rivera, 17 of Schertz, TX, went to be with the Lord on Friday, July 31, 2020 from a tragic motor vehicle accident. She was born on August 13, 2002 to Luis and Terri Rivera in Bellevue, Nebraska.

Taina graduated from Samuel Clemens High School, class of 2020. She worked at Polly’s Pet Shop as a Product Manager. Taina participated in the Future Farmers of America program where she demonstrated her love for animals.  She enjoyed the beach and would always take frisbees and collect little creatures on the sand.  She didn’t care about getting dirty, instead curiosity would motivate her to bring them home. Just recently, Taina was driving down Ashley Oak when she stumbled upon a cat that was dead in the middle of the road.  She stopped to check if the cat was breathing but then she realized that he wasn’t. Taina took the cat to the vet and discovered that the cat was not microchipped.  She found it in her heart to pay the money to have the cat cremated.  She even posted the story on the Next Door app in an attempt to find the cat’s owner.  Taina’s act of kindness demonstrated her warm heart and love for animals.

Taina is survived by her parents, Luis and Terri Rivera; two siblings, Carlos and Lydia; grandparents, Iris Jorge, Luis Rivera and Tim Newell; as well as numerous aunts, cousins and friends. She loved all of her pets, especially Scooter and Bella.

Visitation will be held from 1:00PM - 3:00PM on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at Schertz Funeral Home Chapel. The Funeral Service will begin at 3:00PM.
