The late Mexican American superstar Jenni Rivera was something to everyone: the diva de la banda to her fans, the "Diana Ross of Mexican music" to one music executive, and a loving, hard-working mother to her family.
Rivera served as an inspiration to struggling mothers and victims of domestic violence, and was a humble donor to the needy.
On Thursday — what would have been her 46th birthday — Long Beach city officials honored the singer's legacy by bestowing her name on a park in her hometown.
"There's a lot of love for this woman," Mayor Robert Garcia said.
