JANE FOULKE RILEY

JANE FOULKE RILEY Salem, SC-Jane F. Riley, 75, of 13 Skipper Lane, Salem, SC, wife of Clark Kaye Riley, passed away Sunday, November 6, 2011, at Seneca Health and Rehabilitation. Mrs. Riley was born on April 28, 1936 in Philadelphia, PA the daughter of the late Mary Strawn Thomas & J. Earl Cobourn of Rydal, PA. Jane graduated from the Abington Friends School in 1954, and attended Bucknell University before marrying her high school sweetheart, Clark, in 1955. Jane was a devoted mother, homemaker, and wife who graciously accepted the many moves away from her beloved suburban Philadelphia area, as Clark pursued his career. She was an avid bridge player, and wrote some very beautiful poetry. A particular milestone in a friend or relative's life always prompted Jane to write a poem specifically for the occasion. Many will remember her for this act of kindness. In addition to her husband Clark, Mrs. Riley is survived by three children, Skip and Kathy Riley of Hebron, KY, Beverlee and Stephen McCourt of Kingston, MA, and John Riley of the home; three grandchildren, Adam Riley of Chestertown, NY, and David and Katherine McCourt of Kingston; and one sister, Elizabeth and Richard Cole of Rocky Mount, VA. Jane will be buried on the Abington Meeting grounds in Jenkintown, PA at a later date. No local services are planned at this time.
