Mary lived in Lyndonville and adored taking walks to the creek behind her house and hosting family gatherings that always proved to be memorable. She adored nature, gardening, watching the birds from her window, Christmas lights, baking, sunrises and sunsets, and spending time with her dog, Cooper. She always made sure everyone who walked into her home felt welcome. She loved to go on adventures with her family to experience new things. She always put her family first and loved us all unconditionally. Even in her worst times she was kind and caring to everyone she encountered, and she strived to embrace the positive things in life. Mary Riley was a beautiful soul who will be eternally missed, but will live on in our hearts and memories.
