Rita Ann Ryan

Ms. Ryan was my teacher back in the 90´s. Universally loved and such fond memories of her and her classes. I still remember her stories of riding around on her motorcycle. Such a neat person. Condolences to the family.

Dilectus magistra. Thank you Miss Ryan for everything you taught us. You are already missed so much.

My deepest condolences to Miss Ryan´s family and friends. She was a great influence on me when I was at Central and beyond. She helped me nurture my love of Latin and the Classics. She was truly one of a kind.

Ms. Ryan was my Latin teacher for 3 years at Central in the 90s. She was smart, kind, and tolerant of our clownish behavior as high school boys. Our thoughts are with the family and will remember her life of amazing service.

Aunt Rita, I´ll always remember our tippy cup and St. Pat´s parties. Your humor and laugh were infectious. My thought are with your family.

My condolences to the Ms. Ryan's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. She was my Latin Teacher at Central and one of a kind. Funny, compassionate, caring are a few adjectives to describe her. In the immortal words you taught me, Semper Ubi Sub Ubi.

I was doing a practicum at Omaha Central back in the winter of 2010 with Rita. I learned a lot from her and I really appreciated all of her advice that she gave me. Rita was a great defender of the classics and the Latin language as valuable education even in the modern age. I know she loved being in that classroom with those kids and she gave her life to Omaha Central. Well done and well fought. Requiescat in pace.

My daughter was a student of Miss Ryan at Central High school and she was a great roll model for her. I still remember all the times she spoke of her. I hope they meet up again in the heavens above. May she rest in peace.

Ms. Ryan will forever hold a place in my heart. As a student, she inspired us all. She was the kindest, sweetest teacher and advisor anyone could hope for. The world lost a one of a kind person. I am sure she is up the the celestial universe talking to all the greats and swooning over Julius Caesar. My deepest sympathies to the family.
