Mrs. Solomon was born to the late Marvin Harold Riley and Ethel Glynn Riley. She was a 1965 graduate of Bay High School in Panama City, Florida. She furthered her education at Gulf Coast Community College and Wallace Community College. She had previously worked as a sales associate at Parisians in the Wiregrass Commons Mall. She also served as a substitute teacher for several years. Her caring heart also let her take care of so many of the elderly as well. She was employed with Hearts Homecare from 2016 to 2021.
