Janet E. Riley

Janet E. Riley, 51, of Batavia, Ohio died unexpectedly of natural causes on March 20, 2019.



She was born July 5, 1967 in New Castle, Indiana to the late Robert E. Flannery and Linda S. Moore, née Leo, who survives in Mansfield, Ohio. Janet graduated from Connersville (Ind.) High School and worked for The Kroger Co., both in Connersville and since moving to Batavia eight years ago.



Janet will be remembered for her calm, kind personality and, although a bit shy, everyone who got to know her loved her and found her easy to get along with.

Also surviving are Doug Riley and his family, Deanna Riley (children, Hailey and Gauge) and Buddy Riley (children, Rylan, Malaya, and Sylas); her stepmother, Doreen Flannery; and stepsister, Vanessa Holbert (daughter, Izabella).



In addition to her father, Janet was preceded in death by her grandparents, Lowell Earl and Cliffie Flannery.
