Long Beach, MS – Regina Camille Riley Paul, age 20, passed away in Pass Christian.
Camille was a gift from Heaven for us. She was extraordinarily creative in everything she did, whether painting or doing theatrical makeup and hair for different productions (which she loved dearly). She also loved going to the beach in MS, FL, and AL with family and friends. Camille especially liked to visit Ft. Pickens with her childhood friend, Lizzie Fairchild.
Being married to her husband Chris, was one of the happiest times of her life. Camille loved going on extravagant vacation trips with her brother Kevin, and her dad. Camille and her mother shared a love of raising fleur de Lis (lily flowers) and wearing pearls and these traditions will live on in her memory. Camille was especially close to her grandmother Violet Riley. She had a smile for everybody she met and compassion of heart that was endless.
She is preceded in death by her stepfather, Sean Thomas O'Brien, grandfather, Jack W. Riley, sister-in-law, Melinda McGill, aunt, Helen (Cissy) Granberry O'Keefe, and many other beloved family and friends.
Camille is survived by her husband, Christopher Paul, mother, Regina Loveless O'Brien, father and stepmother, J Kevin Riley, Sr. and Kim Riley, brothers, J. Kevin Riley, II, Sean Patrick O'Brien and Jeff McGill, sisters, Lauren Michaelia Riley, and Ashley Carden, grandparents, Violet B. Riley, Richard and Judie Loveless, Thomas J.
