We would like to take this time to remember Mildred Perez Rivera (Millie, Grandmama Joe, GG, GGma, Gumbi) who passed away on April 8th, 2024 in St. Cloud, Florida. Mildred was born on May 4th, 1949 in New York City, New York to Antonia and Juan Perez.
She grew up with four sisters and a brother: Mary, Miriam, Nancy, Nilda, and Juan Perez Jr. She remained close with her siblings throughout the years. She then married Confessor (Tony) Rivera on February 3rd, 1968. They were married for 55 years until Confessor’s passing on September 19th, 2015.
She helped raise all six of her grandchildren: Jessica, Michael, Marissa, Jonathan, Marc, and Matthew. Because of this, her house felt like a second home to them. Even long after they needed to be looked after, her grandchildren would often visit her, have dinners, or spend the night. Nothing felt quite like snuggling up like “snow bunnies” and watching movies. She was a kind soul with a heart of gold. She was always there with a hug and a warm meal. She loved nothing more than to be surrounded by her loved ones, and her loved ones loved nothing more than to be around her.
Despite her life struggles, she always had an abundance of love to give to both people and her many pets. No matter how dark and scary the world became, she always felt like a safe harbor from the storms of life. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, but for those who remained close to her, she was everything. She will be irrevocably and unceasingly missed. Her legacy of love, laughter, made-up words, family dinners, and kindness will live on within her family.
Mildred is survived by her siblings (Mary Medina, Nancy Gonzalez, Nilda Perez, Juan Perez Jr.), her children (Anthony Rivera, Jeannette Rivera Alexander), her grandchildren (Jessica Rivera-Bates, Michael Alexander, Marissa Alexander, Jonathan Rivera, Marc Rivera, Matthew Alexander), and her great-grandchildren (Julian, Dominic, Penelope, Theodore Bates).
A celebration of life will be held for Mildred on May 4th, 2024 for her family and friends.

He was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest and keeping a positive outlook on life, no matter how hard times will become.
Ed was a proud Popster to three children: Eric, Nadja and Michelle. Ed was preceded by his mother Barbara and sister Donna.
He is survived by his siblings Richard, Rebecca, Robert, Barbara and Laura.
Ed spent 20 years as an Army officer, transitioned to a passionate business professional, and then turned into a relaxed and joyful retiree.
In retirement, he spent his days traveling the world and enjoying the most beautiful beach sunsets the planet has to offer.
His cheerful attitude towards life and comforting smile will be missed, as well as his wise advice that always wound up being correct.
We know Ed is looking down upon us riding high in heaven on his Harley Davidson, all while giving us energy and warmth in our hearts.

Taylor Manning Archer, of St. Cloud, Florida, passed away Friday, December 8th, 2023. A native of Demopalis, Alabama, Taylor was born November 17th, 1941, to parents Frances Tibbs Archer and Alexander Hamilton Archer III. In 1945, he moved with his family to Oakridge, Tennessee where he was a 1959 graduate of Oakridge High School. After graduating, he began working downrange for NASA at various radar facilities in the Bahamian Islands. Taylor received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration at Jacksonville State University. It was in college that he met his beloved wife, Cecelia Annette Williams of almost 58 years. He enjoyed a long successful career in the aerospace and national defense industries allowing him and his young family to travel and live abroad.
He settled in St. Cloud, FL in 1982 where he poured his heart and soul into his family and extended family and to those closest to him. One of the roles he treasured most was “Geezer”, the name he chose and by which he was lovingly called by his adoring grandchildren. He was a lifelong Bama fan and enjoyed rooting them on at every opportunity.
Taylor is survived by his wife Annette Williams Archer; sister, Frances Anne Archer and brother, Dave (Terri) Tibbs Archer; children Tracy Kathleen Archer, Taylor “Ty” (Laura) Manning Archer Jr., Alison (Steve) Archer Partin; grandchildren; Seth Clyne Partin, Sybil Taylor Partin, Riley Frances Partin, Taylor Manning Archer III, Addison Anne Archer, and Alexandra Marie Parnica. He preceded in death his brother, Alexander (Winifred) (Murielle) Hamilton Archer IIII.
Memorial Services for Taylor were held on February 3rd, 2024, in Dayton, Alabama at the United Methodist Church which was first chartered in 1819 and cherished by past and present generations of the Archer Family. On this day he was laid to rest in his ancestorial Archer Family Cemetery where he joined his parents and more than six generations of family members that had gone before him.
Christopher (Chris) F. Goeckel, 64, of Zellwood, FL, unexpectedly passed away in a tragic bicycling accident on February 3rd, 2024. His death is both shocking and devastating, and it is felt deeply by his family and countless others who loved him.
Chris would say his most important roles in life were that of a husband and a father. He had a deep love for his family. For those of you that befriended him on Facebook, you know the obvious pride he took in them and the overwhelming love he had for them. He married the love of his life Cynthia (Cindy) Crackel on July 28th, 1985, in Las Vegas, Nevada. And together, Chris and Cindy called East Lansing, Michigan, home, where they raised their two daughters Amy and Alyssa before eventually retiring to Zellwood, Florida, in 2019.
Chris was a lover of the arts and was an active participant of the local theater community in Lansing. Growing up, his daughters were very involved in theater, some of their fondest memories include their dad taking them to all their auditions, rehearsals, and always sitting front row at their performances…unless of course, he was on stage with them. What started as a way to connect with his children, blossomed into a wonderful passion for him. Chris spent almost two decades acting in various shows at community theaters in the greater Lansing area, playing parts from Frankenstein to a Colonel in M.A.S.H.
Chris was a die-hard Michigan State Fan, putting the three women in his life through school there. Some of Chris’ daughters other fond memories are the times their dad would take them to Michigan State sporting events on campus, and some of their not so fond memories include him screaming at the TV for his beloved Spartans.
Chris was also a proud retiree. His ultimate life goal was to retire to Zellwood, Florida, to live in his late parents’ home with his beloved wife and he achieved just that. The last few years of his life were spent tending to his beautiful flowers, going on bike rides with his dog, Max, visiting his brother-in-law, Bobby, in Cocoa Beach, and of course, posting photos of events and nature for his friends and community to enjoy.
He was born on July 31st, 1959, to Betty and Fred Goeckel in Buffalo, New York and was one of five children: Carleen, Bob, his late brother Dave, and Sandy. He grew up in Mentor, Ohio, and studied Business and Spanish at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. He spent several months attending Facultad de Filosofía y Letras – Universidad de Valladolid in Spain as a part of his college education. He spent the majority of his career as a Branch Manager at ABF Freight for 35 years.
Chris was truly a one of a kind man. He was kind, fair, and had a huge heart. The lessons he would have liked to impart on us all would be to love and be loved, to work hard, play hard, and to always live by the Golden Rule. This world will not be the same without him; without his photos on all of our facebook feeds, his fabulous cooking, and his family’s favorite thing: his infectious laugh. He will be very, very missed.
Services will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Mount Dora, Florida, on February 21st, 2024, at 9am EST followed by a luncheon at 11am EST in their neighborhood at the Zellwood Station Depot. The service will be recorded and posted to the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church’s website, for those who are unable to attend. A Celebration of Life will be held at Reno’s East in East Lansing, Michigan, on February 24th from 3pm-6pm EST. There is an RSVP form to fill out for the Celebration of Life, so the family can notify the restaurant.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Riverwalk Theatre, Good Samaritans of Zellwood Station, or the American Heart Association.
