Paula J Riley died at 10:25 a.m. July 1, 2018 in New York City after a two year battle with lung cancer. When she was first diagnosed she was given a life expectancy of six months to a year. About eight months ago she was submitted to hospice care with a diagnosis of weeks to a few months. Paula was a fighter and she loved life and was curious and passionate about every endeavor she undertook. She was not going to abide by other peoples timetables.
