Shirley Riley of Richland, WA, passed away October 8, 2014 in Kennewick at the age of 86.
Shirley was born August 8, 1928 in Walla Walla, WA and was raised in Dixie, WA with her sister Pat by her maternal grandparents. Shirley graduated from Walla Walla High School. In 1945 she married the love of her life, Paul Riley and together had two children: Cheryl and Laure.
Shirley worked for Seafirst Bank for over 30 years and when she wasn't working she dedicated her time to being a devoted mother. Shirley had strong faith and was a member of the Richland Lutheran Church and RLC Sewing Circle. She thoroughly enjoyed traveling with Paul and exploring new places. One of her favorite places to spend time was their cabin in NE Washington, where she and her family would go water skiing.

Thinking of your Family as you mourn the passing of your Mom, and celebrate her life. She was a loving Mother and Grandmother. Thinking of you at this time, Laure. With deepest sympathy, Linda O’Donnell Sparling
Ray and I send our sincere sympathy and keeping you in our prayers at this most difficult time. Shirley and I worked together at Sea-First Bank. She was a quiet loving friend. Blessings to all. Mille Nierman
Our condolences to Shirley’s family. She was always a shining light in our lives, both at Sea-First Bank and after. We have such good memories of she and Paul that will continued to stay with us…
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Laure, and your family. I have wonderful memories from my childhood of your Mom. She is now reunited with Cheryl and your Dad and we look forward to seeing them in heaven.
Laure:
So sorry to read about your Mom’s passing. Your parents lived with my parents, Bill and Maryrose Blue, when I was a baby. Until Cheryl was born your Dad always called me his “little girl”. I don’t remember the last time I saw your Mom but I will always remember her fondly. May God give you His comfort.
