Mary Ann Riley, 63, of Kevil, Kentucky, passed away on February 6th, 2022 at Baptist Health Paducah.
Mary was born on October 4th, 1958 to the late Lois and Mary “Patsy” (Robertson) Riley. She retired from Lourdes Hospital where she was a dedicated employee for over 30 years. She always showed kindness and compassion to all who were under her care.
Mary was quick to help a friend or stranger and was the most selfless person to anyone who knew her. She never asked “what can I do to help” she just took action. Her favorite quote and life’s credo was “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.” Mary was independent, strong, fiery and one of a kind. She was the best mother and friend anyone could ever have and she will be dearly missed.
Mary is survived by her daughter, Stella Manion and husband, Brad of St. Louis, Missouri; her son, Dylan Riley and wife, Emma of Dunlap, Illinois; three brothers, James Riley (Barbara), Eugene Riley and Randy Riley (Angie), all of Paducah; one sister, Bettie Matheny (Harry) of Paducah; her beloved grandchildren, Logan Hardin, Clover Manion and Kincaid Manion; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by Stella’s father, Charles A. Dick; Dylan’s father, Steven L. Trimble; and her devoted partner of 18 years, Robert D. Rich, who was a second father to Stella and Dylan; four brothers, Tommie, Terry, Russell and Jimmie Riley; and one sister, Dennie Pannell.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, February 11, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah with Bro. Shane Davenport officiating. Burial will follow at Riley Cemetery.
