Nancy Riley 1958 - 2025

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

Nancy Riley, our beloved mother, was called home to the Kingdom of Heaven on February 6, at her home in Ridgeland. She was born on the first day of summer, June 21, 1958, to the late Mr. James and Mrs. Della McCue.

She was retired from the Mississippi Division of Medicaid. She was a very accomplished piano player. She was a member of Trinity United Church in McComb.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of forty-six and a half years, Mike Riley; 1 son, Michael Brett Riley.

She is survived by her daughter, Marcie Jones and husband, Brad; her son, Dusty Riley and wife Courtney; her brothers James McCue, Jr., and Jonathan McCue and wife Mandy; 2 sisters-inlaw, Fran Hooge and husband David, and Sandra Leglue; close friends Brenda Bass, Melanie Summers McCurry, and Margie Brister; many nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.

A special thank you to Dr. Scott Layne, M.D. and Jamie Brewer, NP for their many years of dedicated medical care to our mom.

Visitation was held on February 9, from 1PM until services at 2PM at Hartman Jones Funeral Home Chapel. Pastor Jeffery Conn did officiate.

In lieu of flowers, donations are asked to be sent to Trinity United Church, P.O. Box 1972 McComb, Mississippi 39648. Gwendolyn
