In 1993, she became employed at Mahle Engine Components in Atlantic, Iowa, as the Electroplating Inspector for automotive bearings.
On February 13, 1998, she was united in marriage to Ken Riley at Rutherford, Trewet, and Knuth Law Office in Atlantic, Iowa. She inherited three children on that day: Kenny, Justin, and Jessica.
