Sandra Ryan

SANDRA RYAN Sandra Joan Ryan, 71, of Henderson, passed away in the arms of the love of her life, her husband, Loren D. Ryan. She was born April 13, 1939, in Salt Lake City. Sandra and Loren were married Oct. 5, 1973, and they were 25-year residents of Nevada. Sandy touched many lives and could light up a room with her vibrant personality and infectious smile. She gave so much to all of those around. She was an earthly angel practicing random acts of kindness to all that crossed her path. Sandy was happiest when she was helping others, especially her family, friends, church and the homeless. She was a great friend, wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She was preceded in death by her son, Kevin Brady. Sandy is survived by her loving husband, Loren; one brother, John (Judy) Swens; children, Rod (Chaya) Ryan, Kelly (Rod) Startin, Robyn (Scott) Elmer, Kristi (Michael) Bublin, Roxan (Troy) Nordenbrock, Russell (Cindy) Ryan and Katharyn (David) Wilcox; 21 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and her faithful companion dog, Nikko. A small private celebration of Sandy's life will be held at a later date. For details, please contact Katharyn "Kat" Wilcox at (702) 292-8796, or gottabeme777@cox.net. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations by made to Nevada Humane Society.
