Born August 18, 1942 in Claremore to Raymond and Martha (Hendrix) Riley, Mary received her education first in Claremore, thru the 11th grade, then graduated from high school at Oologah.

Mary had several hobbies that included gardening, crocheting drawing and reading. She also loved square dancing, an interest she shared with Tom. Family came first in Mary's life and she took great care of them. Her extended family and friends were also recipients of her kind and caring love. The holidays were special to Mary, having her family around was most comforting.
