Maria (Mary) Solano Raley, the kind matriarch and center point of her large family as well as a high roller at the local casino, went to spend eternity with Jesus on Saturday, October 23, 2021, of sepsis infection at the age of 73.
In 1975, when Mary met Ray Raley, it was a match made in Heaven. They married and lived for some time in the Philipines before they moved to the United States. Mary and Ray have four children. Mary was a loyal servant to God, first and foremost. She loved the church and loved sharing the love and warmth of our savior, Jesus Christ, with everyone she knew. She was a dedicated member of St. Mary Catholic Church and had a heart for the less fortunate.
Mary spent nearly three decades working for Boeing. She retired to spend more time with her grandchildren. Mary joins her mom, dad, three sisters, and one brother in Heaven. She is survived by many who love and cherish her, including her loving husband Ray, her children, Josie (Brian), Gena (Jeff), Will (Hong), Dan (Alyssa), her grandchildren, Amber, Mike, Napoleon, Jeffrey, Christian, Alijah, Zeke, Mykia, Kal-el, Xzavior, and Nevaeh, Isabela (sister), nieces and nephews; and great-nieces and nephews.
Mary loved her family. Her joyous laugh could always be heard when she was with them.
A reception will be held after Mary's service on Friday 11/5/2021 at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home.
