Lizette Nicole Riojas

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Lizette Riojas, whose life was filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her family. She was a wife of 7 years to Jose Espinoza and dedicated mother to her cherished children, Joaquín and Delilah, and a devoted granddaughter to Rosa Donel.

Born to her loving parents, Manuel and Delfina “Melissa” Riojas, she grew up surrounded by the warmth of her large family. She shared a deep bond with her siblings—Robert, Mercedes, Manuel, Marissa, Matthew, Amanda, Robby, Jessica, April, and Michelle—who will forever treasure the memories of her love and joyful spirit. She was also blessed with the closeness of relatives Blanca Ligar Aymes Sagistano and David (Amber) Sagistano, numerous aunts and uncles, many cousins—including her favorite, “Baby” Bryan—as well as countless nieces and nephews who each felt like they were her most loved.

She had a vibrant spirit and a passion for life. She found joy in singing, dancing, thrifting, garage sales, and, above all, family. Family gatherings were her happiest moments, where her warmth and humor lit up every room. She cherished concerts, beach vacations, and road trips, and always made time to create memories with her loved ones.

A dedicated and hardworking woman, she was employed with Silver Eagle Distributors in the past and was in the process of completing her studies in medical assistant school, just one month away from graduating. Her determination and drive inspired everyone around her.

Her nieces and nephews held a very special place in her heart, each one feeling as if they were her favorite—because she made them feel exactly that way.

She will be remembered for her selflessness, her laughter that could brighten any day, and her unwavering love for family. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to live on through all who were fortunate to know her.
