Nelda Riley was born on February 6, 1942, in Bald Prairie, Texas, to Louis Lee Davis and Nannie Bell McCrary Davis. Nelda grew up as one among seven children, Richard Davis, James Davis, Stella Davis Branter, Dean Davis Baxter, Ray Davis, and Faye Davis Pruitt. Nelda graduated from Franklin High School and went on to begin a career at TXDOT, which she thoroughly enjoyed for 28 years. A beautiful love story, Nelda met the love of her life on a blind date in 1962. They married and had one son together, James D. Riley. The day James was born was the happiest moment in her life. Her family was her pride and joy! She enjoyed spending time with them, especially their vacations to Colorado. Nelda enjoyed playing games, shopping, and wine parties. She was outgoing and loved everyone. She would fondly call people “kitty” as a sweet nickname. It also might’ve had something to do with the fact that she loved cats.
