With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bonnie Riley, a beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend, who left this world peacefully on September 28, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on August 30, 1950, Bonnie lived a life rich in love, laughter, and warmth, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Bonnie was a cherished matriarch, dedicating her life to her family. She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Riley; her devoted sons, Shawn M. (Heather) and Jason J. (Ryan Reczek); and her beloved daughter, Stacy Ulrich (the late Harry). She will also be deeply missed by her grandchildren Riley, Eben, Liam, and Jesse, her sisters, Chris Wolf (Ron) and Kathy Jones-Nestor (Paul), and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. She is preceded in death by her sister Patty Jones.
Known for her delightful sense of humor and sharp wit, Bonnie had a unique way of bringing joy to every room she entered. Her home was a sanctuary for all-filled with love, comfort, and laughter. Each guest felt welcomed and valued, whether they needed a place to sleep, a good laugh, or an understanding ear. Family was everything to Bonnie, and she fostered that connection with grace and compassion.
Starting at 10:00 AM, at Koller Funeral Home, 6835 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia on October 7, 2025, family and friends are welcome to greet Bonnie's family and gather, share stories, and remember the beautiful moments they spent with Bonnie. A memorial service will follow at 11:30 AM.
As we prepare to celebrate her life, we hold close the cherished memories of her warmth, love, and laughter. Bonnie will forever remain in our hearts, a shining example of how to love fiercely and live fully.
