LaJuana G. Riley

LaJuana Gail Riley was born to A.C. and Norma Hodges February 6, 1961, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She leaves behind her son, John Paul Bohnenkamp with partner Shawn Smith of Oklahoma City, daughter, Jesilee Jean Riley with fiancé Ryan Davis and their three children, Jaxson, Bellamy, and Hayes of Oklahoma City. Mom, Linda Hodges of Burneyville, siblings Terry Hodges, Tony Hodges, Douglas Williams, Lisa Meyers, Cheryl Lohbauer, Aunts Darlene Pelham, Jamie Stoneking, Ruth Kerley, and long-time friend, Steve Robey. Countless cousins, nieces and nephews and their children.

LaJuana never did anything halfway; if she started something, she went all out and was a powerful force that many did not expect. She could outwork most people, even those much younger than her. LaJuana loved deeply and fiercely, and you could tell because she would protect you with everything she had, just like her mama and aunts. She faced every challenge head-on. She cherished family, friends, fast cars, motorcycles, great music and had a sense of style that was purely LaJuana.

On January 5, at 11:11 PM, LaJuana left this world peacefully after a day surrounded by the love of her friends and her children. She is preceded in death by her mother, Norma Jean Hodges, father, AC Hodges, and brother, Kevin Hodges.
