Patricia Ryan Obituary

Published by D'Anjolell Memorial Home of Broomall on Dec. 31, 2015.
Patricia "Pat" Ryan died on December 28, 2015 due to complications from a stroke earlier in the week. Ms. Ryan passed away at 81 years of age. Patricia was born on January 4, 1934 in Brooklyn, NY to Stanley and Dorothea Ryan (nee Crowe). She attended Brentwood High School on Long Island, St. Agnes High School in Brooklyn, and her beloved St. John's University in NYC. Ms. Ryan participated in the executive training program at B. Altman's & Co. in NYC and was a department manager in the St. David's, PA store for many years. Ms. Ryan is survived by her four children and their spouses: Robert "Sandy" Mulhern, Jr. (Kathleen), Coleen-Ann Rupp (Richard), Patricia Minnig (Hurl) and Douglas Mulhern (Lisa). Pat was also blessed with eight grandchildren (Rory, Katy, Lily, Corinne, Alex, Drew, Sara & Luke), and along with her kids, they were the sunshine in her days. There will be a private ceremony for Ms. Ryan. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania would be appreciated.
