Violet Mae “Pat” Ryan

It is with great sadness that the family of Violet Mae “Pat” Ryan of Port Washington announce her passing on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024. Pat was 87 years of age.

Pat will be loved and missed by her children Gregory Ryan, his wife Cynthia Ryan and her daughter Sherry Ryan; her grandchildren Nicolas Gonzalez and Mathew Gonzalez, his wife Megan Gonzalez and Tessa Ryan; and her great-grandchild Miles Gonzalez.

Pat had a wonderful passion for life and a great sense of humor. She had a love for God’s word, the Bible, and she enjoyed sharing her hope for the future with others. She loved to reminisce and tell old stories about her life. Therefore, we ask that you simply pause and think of a special memory that you may have shared with our dear Pat. May that bring you as much joy as it does us.

Pat did not desire a public funeral; instead, a private family memorial service will be held in the near future.
