At Missouri Baptist University, Riley met her husband, Mason Washington, and married on September 3, 2023.  Riley and Mason accomplished their goals of buying a home and welcomed their first born son, Jace, on May 31, 2024.  Becoming a mother brought Riley immense joy, and she cherished every moment spent with him.

Riley was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, and friend.  She brought warmth and an uplifting spirit to everyone she loved.  She cared for her family with deep patience and a kind heart, listened to her friends with genuine compassion, and made every single day brighter for all those around her.
