I knew Mrs. Riley at Southside Elementary School when we both worked there. She was always so kind and loving with the children. After I retired I often saw her around town. What a joy to talk with her again. She was always so friendly and kind. I will miss her. Rebecca Stevenson

Rest in peace you will be missed dearly- your loving god daughter😢

Cleanette had a beautiful soul and spirit about herself always smiling and engaging in conversations when we seen each other at Duracell or shopping. She's in the care of Jesus what a wonderful place to be. Sending condolences from Barbara B.Mcilwain and Family

God bless and my sincere condolences to the family and friends. Clint and I worked at Duracell together. She will be missed. I use to see her at Walmart after we retired from Duracell. We would ask each other, why didn't we have the sense we have now, when we was at Duracell. We would laugh and say, God had did a work in both of us. Sleep on and take your rest.
