Darlene Ryans: Beyond loved mother, wife, nana, sister, aunt and friend. She was brought into this world in 1956 along side her twin sister Arlene. She lived in Oklahoma all her life taking pride in being a great mom and a wonderful nana.
She was a very strong minded woman. She put her all into everything she did. She devoted her life to being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She took any moment to prioritize her family while also stepping up to care for others in times of need. She was a reliable woman who many could always lean on for support, love, or even a shoulder to cry on. She always knew exactly what to say and brought laughter into any room.
Darlene lived a simple but full life. She did many things to bring joy to others and herself. From gardening and cooking 'supper'as she would say for her husband Billy or her family. To playing bingo and being invested in her soap opera stories.
As she leaves this world to watch over us above she leaves her daughters Tina, Michelle, Angie and Deanna. Her grandkids Cody, Koy, Makayla, Cloey, Kayden, Briana, Bailey and Mia. Her greatgrand kids Johnnie, Kinsley, Maddux, Koy Jr. and Kaizen.
Although she has left us, she was met with open arms in heaven. She was the last to be called home after her beloved mother Shirley Cody-Grooms and her father Kenneth Cody, her step-father Clarence Grooms, her loving husband Billy Ray Ryans Jr., her adored siblings Billy Wayne Cody, Lorene Cody, Sandra Collins, Arlene Cody and many friends she made along the way. There was quite a celebration when she walked through those pearly gates.
Darlene Ryans will be deeply missed by all who were graced by her presence and joyous energy. May her unconditional love and devotion to family be passed down through generations after her.
