Riley grew up in Lansing, graduated high school in Olivet, and was in her second year of college at Western Michigan University. She was working on a degree in Early Elementary Education. Riley was a good student and was looking forward to starting new upper level classes in the spring.
Riley loved life, she was a very happy and loving person. Her main passion in life was music. If Riley had plans, she was most likely going to a concert. Other than music she loved spending time with her family and friends. She was the greatest big sister. Riley also loved photography. She always was taking pictures and capturing life's moments. Her beautiful images will be a light in the dark days to come.
