Christina Lynn Rivers

On 12/31/2025 at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Mankato, Christina Lynn Rivers joined our Heavenly Father that welcomed her with open arms. Christina “Tina” Rivers was born on 06/16/1973 in California to Mary Bixler and Scott Rivers. She graduated high school from Roger B. Chaffee High school in 1991. Tina was a bright and creative soul who loved to decorate, collect, beauty and spending time with her family. She is survived by her two sons, Tyler Wilson and Brady Olson, her brothers and sisters Dave Rivers, Mike Rivers, Tiffanie Richardson, Zabrina Bixler, her mother and stepfather Mary and Mark Bixler, and her nine nieces and nephews. She is reunited with her Heavenly Father, Father Scott Rivers, and daughter Ashley Arquilla. Forever in our hearts with love and now at peace.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night,

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

-Mary Elizabeth Frye
