Kay Mary Obituary

She made many good friends and was at her happiest while there. She attended St. Columbus High School in Schenectady, NY. Upon graduating she worked for Key Bank and Logic Technology. Mary Kay was a prayer warrior whose faith came first and her beloved animals Jake and Matches a close second. She was a grateful family first person who made all those she touched feel special and appreciated. And for the Riley clan, a family historian, secret keeper, cheerleader and a true trusted confidante. Mary Kay developed the Attitude Of Gratitude in life with the kindness and warmth to all that set her apart. Mary Kay loved to bowl and for all of her life followed sports passionately. She will be greatly missed.
