Mary Lynn (Hasbrook/Matjeka) Riley

Lynn's father called her his "little ray of sunshine" and that truly described Lynn. She loved painting and drawing, photography, decorating and any sort of crafts and creating. She was dedicated mother to her children and truly perfected herself as Grandmother, spending many hours watching and listening to recitals, baseball, softball and basketball games. She loved to spend time with her grandchildren, telling stories and recently said how much she enjoyed texting with her grandchildren as older kids and adults. She would drop whatever she was doing to help someone and always had a kind attitude towards others. She spent her time volunteering in several organizations in Johnson City, visiting friends in nursing homes, and tending to her large collection of plants. She loved to renovate old houses, loved antiques and painted beautifully in oil and watercolor. She was also a brilliant thinker and spent many hours reading and discussing important topics from psychology to philosophy. In her life, Lynn lived in San Antonio, Houston, Alabama, East Tennessee and a number of towns in the Texas Hill Country, the area she loved so dearly. Lynn will be terribly missed by everyone who knew her.
