Mary Katherine Ryan age 93 of Rocklin CA, previously of Bellevue OH died peacefully on Sept 23, 2015 with family at her side.
Mary K was a warm, kind woman of quiet faith who cultivated friendships well into her eighties. She was a member of the Mary Lay Foundation at Our Sorrowful Mother Shrine and was a member of the Altar and Rosary Society of her parishes. She loved following politics, the Cleveland Indians and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Her Irish hospitality was evident by the frequent gatherings on the front porch of her home, known affectionately as "808", which had an open door, a kitchen table where there was always room for more, and the aroma of a freshly baked pie. Above all she treasured time spent with her family, whether at her home, during frequent gatherings at Cape Cod or Lake Tahoe.
She will be missed terribly and remembered joyfully by her loving children, Kathryn (John) Wetli, of Toledo, OH, Margaret (Jim) Reilly of Rocklin, CA, Molly (Chuck) Nadeau of West Barnstable, MA, Dan (Melita) Ryan of Pasadena, CA, Tricia (Ken) Laham of Brookline, MA, her devoted daughter-in-law Jean Ryan of Bellevue; grandchildren Mary Beth (James) Melvin of Toledo, Susan Wetli of Toledo, John Wetli of Denver, CO,, Dr. Kristin Ryan of Columbus, OH, Timothy Ryan of Athens, OH, Jim Reilly of Citrus Heights, CA, Michael (Erika) Reilly of Roseville, CA, Peter (Dawn) Reilly of San Clemente, CA, Stephen Nadeau of Fall River, MA, Katie (Mike) Tieu of Chicago, IL, Eddie Laham of Jamaica Plain, MA, Mike Laham of Brookline, MA, Meghan Ryan and Breanna Ryan of Pasadena, CA and five great-grandchildren, Harmony Reilly, Cecelia and Kathryn Melvin, Jesse Reilly and Clayton Reilly
She was preceded in death by her husband whom she adored, Edward Pierce Ryan whom she married Oct. 23, 1943 in Lima, OH; her cherished son, Edward J Ryan, and two infant daughters Mary Anne and Anne Elizabeth. She was the last surviving member among her five siblings and her husband's ten siblings
