Obituary For Monica Riley

In loving memory, we celebrate the life of Monical O’Neal Riley, a cherished mother, daughter, sister, and friend, who passed away peacefully from natural causes on April 30, 2026, at the age of 49. Born on November 29, 1976, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Monica was a beacon of love and warmth to all who knew her.

Her nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication to her family were the hallmarks of her life. She was devoted mother to her three children, Hannah Riley, Issac Riley, and Dean Riley, each of whom brought immense joy and pride into her life. Her brother, John O’Neal, along with her mother, Joyce Judd, survives her, forming a close-knit family that shared countless cherished memories.

Monica’s educational journey began at Apex High School, continued at Wake Tech, and culminated at Meredith College. Her passion for learning was evident in her commitment to education, a trait she passed on to her children. Though her career was centered around being a loving mother, sister and child. Monica’s contributions went beyond any professional title. Her greatest vocation was the love and support she provided to her family, embodying the very essence of compassion and selflessness.

A woman with many talents, Monica found joy in crocheting, drawing, and fishing. She cherished the simple pleasures of life, often spending time playing games with her children. Her hobbies were not just pastimes; they were expressions of her creativity and love for those around her. Monica’s vibrant spirit and artistic flair left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered.

To those who knew her, Monica was affectionately known as “Webbie,” a testament to her unique and endearing personality. Her kindness, humor, and unwavering support touched the lives of many, creating a legacy of love and resilience.

She leaves in her memories her children, Hannah, Isaac, and Dean Riley; mother, Joyce O. Judd (Reginald); biological father, Carlton Williams; and grandmother, Pauline Williams; brother, John O’Neal; sister, Jill Farrington; aunt, Cara Harris; the father of her children, David Riley and a host of special aunts, cousins, and friends. Hymn
