She was the wife of a Navy man, moving from coast to coast, including a one year sojourn in Hastings, NE in a Navy Ammunition Depot.

Her maternal grandfather was born in Pennsylvania and joined the Union Army Cavelary, serving at general quarters; her paternal grandfather was born in North Carolina and joined the Confederate Army at 14 years of age - he never saw his family again. He couldn't write, grandpa Sargent could read, but failing eyesight made it difficult

Rayola took her first motorcyle ride with her son Pete at the age of 95.
She owned her own set of leathers and was looking forward to her special ride on her 100th birthday.
