On September 17, 2021, Christine Marie Riley passed away on her 87th birthday. She was born in Porum, Oklahoma to Sherman and Goldie (Shetley) Davis. After graduating high school, she settled in the OKC area. Christine was married twice, to Denver Clark and Jim Riley.
Christine worked for years as a bookkeeper, including many years with Teamsters Union Local 886. After retirement she took on a part time job at Sam’s Wholesale Club as a demo worker.
She was a strong and independent woman. Living alone for almost 40 years, she maintained her home and property meticulously. She loved keeping detailed records, living in a clean house including spotless floors, and generally anything that was done according to her exacting instructions. She hated when the crows stole pecans from her trees, and laziness.
Above all else, Christine loved her family. Nobody will ever have as loving and devoted a mother, sister, or grandmother as us.
Christine leaves behind her sisters Irene Moore and husband Jim and Shirley Taylor and husband David; daughters Genita Cusack and husband Steve and Susan Bussey and husband Tom; granddaughters Jill Cusack and husband Tom Leatherbee and Kellie Smith and husband Michael; great grandchildren Dylan, Aidan, and Layla Inmon and Evan Leatherbee. And her beloved dog, Penny.
We will miss her forever.
Funeral service will be at 10 A.M. Friday, September 24, 2021, at the Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home SE.
Burial will follow at Arlington Cemetery.
