Ryan Greeley Obituary

Ryan Meredith Greeley, aged 46, of San Francisco, CA, passed away on February 8, 2024, at her parents' home in Foster City, CA, after a courageous seven-year battle with metastatic breast cancer.
Ryan, a beloved daughter, mother, and sister, was admired for her strength and resilience in the face of adversity. She was a graduate of Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in NYC and dedicated 17 years of her life as a Neonatal Nurse at UCSF.
A devoted mother to her son, Caleb, Ryan shared her love for sports, travel, cooking, wine pairing, theater, and museums with him. Together they enjoyed cheering for their favorite teams in San Francisco and Boston and traveling to their favorite cities - NYC and Maui.
Ryan is survived by her son, Caleb Randall-Greeley, her parents, James and Sheila Greeley, and her brother, Brandon Greeley (Alejandra and Diego), along with adoring relatives and friends.
A private celebration of life will be held in honor of Ryan Meredith Greeley. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the UCSF Breast Cancer Center or Mission Hospice of San Mateo, CA.
May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

Dear Ryan, You would have been so proud of Caleb as he became a SMHS graduate this past May 2025. You would have loved his choice of college -St. Mary´s College in Moraga. We all miss you everyday.
