A Heart for Home & Family
Mona “Fay” O’Riley was born in Bates County, Missouri, where faith, family, and hard work helped shape her life from an early age. Fay accepted Jesus into her heart as a child and shares that her father served as a deacon at their church, making faith an important part of her upbringing.
Fay was married to her husband, Ken, for 26 years. Together, they built a life centered around family. She is the proud mother of one son, Ben, and is blessed with a large family that includes 26 grandchildren, both biological and step-grandchildren.
Throughout her working years, Fay served as a bookkeeper for the Marine Corps, bringing dedication and attention to detail to her role. Outside of work, she enjoyed sewing, cooking, and caring for her family — the things that brought her the greatest joy.
Fay chose Baptist Homes because it was close to home, allowing her to remain connected to the community and people she knows and loves.
We are grateful to have Fay as part of the Baptist Homes family and thankful for the faith, care, and warmth she brings to our community.
