In September 1953, Riva was transferred to St. Joseph's Convent, Alleppey, Kerala, to start the St. Joseph's College for Women there and take over as its first principal.
This took a good bit of her energy – to supervise the construction and equipment of the college.

Within a year in 1954, she fell ill and was sent for a check-up to Mumbai.

She died on 22 January 1956 in Bombay.
However, on 6 January 1956, she had to be rushed back to Mumbai because of her illness, which turned out to be cancer.
This time it struck her fatally.
D’Sa and Valerian Cardinal Gracias visited her.
They were touched by her Serenity and faith.
She had a kind word, a smile, a gesture of concern for those sisters and hospital staff who attended on her and gratitude for all.

Crowds filed past her body which lay in the Chapel of Canossa Convent, Mahim.
Whispers of "She is a Saint" could be heard among the crowd gathered at her funeral.
