Rikki Danielle Gamboa

Rikki Danielle Gamboa, 35, ascended peacefully to her final resting place early Sunday morning on July 17, 2016. She is survived by her daughter, Avery-Shalom (9); husband, Robert Valencia Jr.; mother, Cecilia Gamboa; father Richard Daniel Gamboa; sisters Cecilia Annette Gamboa, Caryn Marissa Pacheco (Angel), Adrianna Gamboa (Fernando Ruiz); and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Rikki’s greatest desire was to be a mother and she finally lived out her dream, caring for her daughter until the final hours of her life with us. Her contagiously bright personality and her charitable spirit brought joy to every soul that she touched. Her memory will live on with us. A memorial service celebrating Rikki’s life will be held from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at Martinez Funeral Chapels, 2580 S. 6th Ave. Rosary will begin at 12:00 p.m.
