Mrs. Ryan was the best! As my 5 th grade teacher at Shimer School she was an inspiration to all of us, especially in encouraging us in the arts. I feel so blessed to have had her as a teacher! I'm sure many of us remember her little sports car she drove to school, top down, and she in her babooshka! God bless her and all her family.

Mrs. Ryan was my 5th grade teacher and an absolute favorite. So so many fond memories of her and all of the special activities. My favorite was when I built my first birdhouse. She loved birds and we always watched them from our classroom window. I believe till this day, I have the love of birds and have many birdhouses because of her. So happy to read she lead a life so full of wonderful experiences. Sending sympathy & prayers to her family. Rest in peace, Mrs. Ryan.

Mrs. Ryan was funny, caring and a wonderful teacher. My...
