Lalisha Lee Riley's Obituary
Lalisha Lee Riley, daughter of the late Leslie Curtis Riley Sr. and Donnetta Faye Roach, born June 3rd,1980 in Oxfordshire, England.
She departed this life on Wednesday Feb 28th, 2024, in Nashville, TN.
Lalisha graduated from Harrison High School in 1998 but she attended F.J. Reitz High School (1994-1998) where her light was created and life began. There is where she met all the people she created everlasting memories with. She will forever be a panther!
Lalisha leaves to cherish her memory eight children: Ayanna Wall (D) , Ahlaysha Riley-Jackson, Alisa Savely, Aaron Riley, Aaliyah Taylor, Kenneth Taylor, Alaya Taylor, and Kenyan Taylor; and five grandchildren A’Miya, Jordyn, Kadence, Nehemiah, and Noelani.
Lalisha also leaves behind her cousin Starla Roach (Aunt Elisa); bonus mother Noritta Riley; her three little brothers Leslie Curtis Riley Jr. (Coreen), Aaron Riley, and Stephon Riley; and a host of friends and family in Evansville, Indiana and Fresno, California.
“I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.
They have clung to me all my life.”
“Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark.
To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is
gone, will give us some protection forever.”
A private memorial celebration of life will be held in Lalisha's honor at a later date.
Final arrangements for Ms. Riley are entrusted to Spring Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery, "Where Nashville Comes to Remember."
