Schlea was preceded by her father, Charlie Ray LaBove; her mother, Tessie Gillett LaBove; and her brother, Robert Marion Guidry.
Schlea is survived by her husband, Mark Eugene Riggs; her son, Shane Heath Hargraves; her grandson, Gage Kohen Hargraves; her sisters, Linda LaBove York (David York), and Charlene Rae LaBove (Penny Fregia); as well as numerous family members and friends.
Schlea graduated from Sterling High School in 1977. After graduation, she worked many years at U. S. Steel in Baytown. After her work with U. S. Steel, she became a mother to her son Shane Hargraves, and began her relationship with Mark Riggs.
Once they began their life together, she became a stay at home mother and wife. During these years she grew passionate about several hobbies, some of which were photography, travel, hunting, fishing, cooking, scrapbooking, and she was an avid collector of many things. Her time with her grandson Gage Hargraves filled her heart with joy. He was “MawMaw’s baby”.
A tradition with her family was to spend a week in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season with her husband, family, and long-time friends. As time passed she acquired another passion, which was driving a school bus with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District for children with special needs.
Serving as pallbearers will be Adam Guidry, Robert Guidry, Chad Reisner, Mark Schimming, David York, and Donnie Derise.
