Latanya Denise Riley, affectionately known as "Tinymae or Tanya", 48, was born on August 21, 1975 to Charles Mason and Ruby Riley in Bridgeton, NJ.

Latanya attended the Bridgeton Public School system and worked as a CHHA with various healthcare agencies.

Tinymae was the "cool" aunt to her nieces and nephews that often spent a lot of time with them. Tinymae didn't hang out with a lot of people but when her circle of family or friends were doing something, she was definitely in the mix whether traveling, partying, or just sitting around having a good time.

Tinymae was always laughing bringing joy and laughter to the lives of those around her. Her vibrant spirit and infectious sense of humor made every gathering a memorable and enjoyable experience. She HAD JOKES FOR DAYS finding humor in everyday situations and had a way of making everyone feel at ease with her playful personality.  And let's not talk about her gear…she was a "sneaker head" matching perfectly with every outfit and putting clothes together that you wouldn't think of.  She could make an outfit from anywhere look nice that you'd think it was designer.

Tinymae LOVED her daughters and her grandchildren! She bragged about how much Simone was an awesome mom and how well she took care of her kids and how successful and independent her Caila was! Her face lit up every time she talked about her grandchildren "Woolah" and AJ, always saying she couldn't wait to get her apartment so that they can be with her more! She inherited the "disco granny" name from her mom because although she would keep them sometimes or go spend time with them, it wouldn't be long because Tinymae had people to see and places to go!!!

Tinymae leaves to cherish her memory, her father, Charles Mason of Georgia, her daughters, Caila Guilford and Simone Banks(Christoper) of Vineland, grandchildren; Allen and Semiya Jones, and Aaliyah "Woolah" Johnson, siblings; Michelle Schenck(Lloyd) of Bethlehem, PA, Walter Riley of Georgia, and China Jones(LaMont) of Millville, her uncles, Nathaniel and Lewis McCall of Bridgeton, and Leroy Wright of Tennessee, and her cousin and besties that were more like sisters, Jessica Hicks, Pamela Still, Nita Cottman and Vergie Michael.

She was predeceased by her mother, Ruby Riley, brother, Kenneth Walker, aunt Ruth Walker, uncles; Jesse Walker and Harvey Wright.
