Ana Silvia Rivera Epps, 58, tragically passed away in a car accident on Friday, September 13, 2024, on her way to her favorite place, Disney World. She was born on November 27, 1965, in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
She leaves behind her one and only son, Colton Epps (her “Apple Dumpling”) and her fiancé, Lon Dudley Nix. She is also survived by her mother, Gloria Rivera; loving brothers, Richard Rivera, Russell Rivera (Robin), Ronald Rivera, Robert Rivera, and Frank Eric Rivera; her nieces, Celeste Bonner (Micah) and their children, Kaya and Solomon, Jillian Lynn (Jeremy) and their children, Andrew and Juliana, and Kecia Nichols and her daughter, Mia; and her daughter, Chastidy Whitford (Jeremy) and their children, Jeremy, Bryson, and Ryker.
She is reunited in Heaven with her father (who she acts just like – tough as nails) Angel Rivera, her brothers, Raymond Rivera and Angelo Rivera, her nephew, Malachi Bonner, and her absolute best friend, Eva Baugh.
Ana always gave her spit-fire, unfiltered opinion on all the lives of her family, even when they didn’t ask. She was very tenacious, but who wouldn’t be growing up with as many brothers as she did. Her family will miss her flamboyant make-up that matched all of her outfits, her laughter, her smile, and her strong love for all of them. Ana loved Loungefly Disney Backpacks and she was always eager to Facetime her nieces to show them her latest and greatest, who will now carry on her tradition. Ana’s all-time favorite was Winnie the Pooh.
Our TiTi (aunt) was truly special and one-of-a-kind. Family gatherings will never be the same. Enjoy Heaven! You will always be Dudley’s Little Piglet.
A visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 27, 2024, at Heritage Funeral Home in Escatawpa, MS. Mass of Christian Burials will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Pascagoula.
