Jeanne Julia (Murray) Ryan was born on August 20, 1944, in New York. She met her future husband, Philip Ryan, soon after high school and they married on May 31, 1963, in West Islip, NY. Their marriage yielded 3 beautiful children, Philip A. Ryan Jr., Kerry Riggs and their angel daughter, Kelly Ann Ryan, who had preceded them in death. She loved all her family and worked diligently to ensure they were taken care of. Jeanne and Phil were very close with Jeanne’s sister Patricia and her husband Ansel Gilbertson, and they remained best friends til the end.
She enjoyed keeping an immaculate home, traveling with her husband and grandchildren, and neighborhood parties. Later in their careers, they were able to enjoy working together in various capacities.
She will be missed by her sister, Patricia Gilbertson and brother-in-law Ansel Gilbertson; her son Philip Ryan, Jr. and his wife Maria; her daughter Kerry Riggs and husband Mike; her grandchildren, Jenifer Ryan Fauth and husband Matt and great grandson Nathan Fauth; granddaughter Meagan Riggs Johnson and husband Damien and great granddaughter Emily Johnson and Grandson Chris Riggs. Also, her bonus grandchildren Jacob Bova, Katie Cotts Brittany Ord, who have been with her daily ensuring her comfort. As well as her daughter-in-law Christine Tanzillo and husband Kevin.
God speed Jeanne Beanie! We are so glad you; pops and Kelly Ann are dancing with Jesus today.
