Aug. 4 (UPI) — Mary Egida Rivera, who played Ned’s grandmother Lola in Spider-Man: No Way Home, has died in Honolulu at the age of 82.
Her family told TMZ Monday that the actress suffered a stroke and was taken off of life support in April.
Rivera is survived by her husband, Alejandro Rivera; her children, Carmela Jones (Jay), Paul Rivera (Leilani), Edwin Rivera, Angela Kelly (Jaime); 11 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, according to her obituary.
“Mary was a retired Missionary for the church,” the online remembrance said. “She was also cast in the last Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home as the Filipino grandmother. She was very proud of this accolade.”
Jacob Batalon plays Ned in all of the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man movies, including last weekend’s blockbuster, Brand New Day.
Rivera appeared in one of the most memorable scenes in the franchise along with Holland, Batalon, Zendaya, Andrew Garfield and Tobery Maguire.
