Doris Riley Obituary
Doris K. Riley ("Mom Mom") passed away on December 15, 2025.
Mom Mom was a homemaker, superb cook, friend, confidante, child care worker, story teller, and so much more. Through all of her life's difficult trials and tribulations, she remained a strong, kind, caring and compassionate woman.
She loved children. Even after raising her own seven children, she cared for, loved and raised the children of so many family, friends, neighbors and more. She will be missed by so many! Mom Mom also had a passion for owning and loving many cats, which seems to have been passed on to her daughters.
Mom Mom was predeceased by her husband, Edward R. Riley, Jr., and her children, Erin Dawn Riley, Jean Faraone, Gail Ellis and Wayne Riley. She is survived by her children James Kephart (Linda), Glenda Wentzell (Bob) and Lynn Stoppelli (John), her grandchildren, Zack Kephart, Randy Heimgartner, Sean Wentzell, Andrew Wentzell, Kevin Wentzell, Shannon Ellis, Amy Bailey, Jillian Ellis, Trent McKellar and Todd McKellar, and many great-grandchildren.
Mom Mom will be interred at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida with her husband, Ed, on January 26, 2026 at 10:30 am. A Celebration of Life will be held following the interment at the GFWC Woman's Club of Inverness, 1715 Forest Drive, Inverness, Florida.
