Jenifer “Riley” Craddock, of Brandon, Mississippi, passed away on Sunday, December 28, 2025, at the age of 47.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 10:00 until 10:45 am at Park Place Baptist Church in Pearl. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 am.

Riley was born on January 29, 1978, to Victor Myers and Cathy Ann Price. She lived the majority of her life in Rankin County, graduating from Pearl High School in 1996 and from Magnolia College of Cosmetology in 2002. On April 22, 2000, she married Michael Jay Craddock, and together they had two children, Presley and Isabelle.

She was a member of Park Place Baptist Church where she volunteered to work in the nursery with the babies she loved so much and where she formerly worked as a Mom’s Morning Out teacher. She also worked in the family business Craddock’s Home Repair with her husband and father-in-law, where she could accomplish any task required of her. In her free time, Riley enjoyed cooking, decorating, enjoying all things Elvis Presley, and devoting her time, many skills and talents to helping others. Her greatest source of joy and her deepest sense of pride came from raising her children, devotion to her husband and family, and keeping a beautiful home. She was an incredible mother.

She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Flo Morris; grandfather, Jerry Myers; father-in-law, Robert “Bobby” Craddock; and grandmother-in-law, Amanda Taylor.

Survivors include her husband of 25 years, Michael Craddock; son, Presley Craddock; daughter, Isabelle Craddock; mother, Cathy Campbell (Wayne); father, Victor Myers (Deborah); sisters, Tosha Myers and Shauna Collins; grandmother, Joyce Myers; stepbrothers, Nick Giorgenti (Amy) and Ben Campbell (Nitza); mother-in-law, Judi Craddock; brother-in-law, Greg Craddock (Rita); and numerous other family members and friends.
