A proud graduate of Hubbertville High School's Class of 1951, where she earned the honor of Salutatorian, Euna's lifelong commitment to excellence was evident in all she pursued. Her devotion extended deeply into her faith as a lifelong member of the Musgrove Methodist Church, a foundation of strength and comfort throughout her extraordinary life.

Euna was a woman of many passions. She adored cooking and baking, filling her home with delicious aromas and warmth that brought family and friends together. She found peace and joy working in her flower beds, nurturing them with the same care she gave to her loved ones. Above all else, her heart belonged to her family, whom she supported wholeheartedly. With eight grandchildren whom she proudly cheered on in their many activities, Euna’s love and encouragement were constant sources of inspiration.

Their lives remain a living testament to her enduring love and spirit.

Euna was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dale Riley, her sons Lance and Steve Riley, son-in-law Philip Byrum, her father Will Jordan, mother Lula Hubbert Jordan, brothers Ernest Jordan and Elger Jordan, and sisters Ethel Sherri, Elsie Wilks, and Edith Fowler.
