November 24, 1928 – August 3, 2018
Peacefully at Maitland Manor, Goderich on Friday, August 3, 2018. Ann (Leitch) Ryan of Goderich in her 90th year. Beloved wife of the late Eugene Ryan (2017). Loving mother of Lynne Desand (Rick), Pat Blake (Bill), Scott Ryan (Cathy), Lee Ryan, and Terry Ryan (Bonnie). Dear grandmother of Becky, Angela, Kara, Julie, Jessica, Drew and Kaitlin. Survived by her siblings Ab (Ev) Leitch, Vi Leitch, Shirley (Fred) Skelton and Marlene Creagmile. Predeceased by her sisters Elsie Dopfer and Irene Johnston and infant granddaughter Julia Ryan.
Ann will be fondly remembered as an avid gardener and member of the Goderich Horticultural Society. Her beautiful gardens kept her outside from spring to fall and busy nurturing seedlings in the winter. She was often spotted on her swing, tea in hand reading a good murder mystery novel – perhaps even enjoying a Culbert’s donut. Throughout her life she was content to stay close to home, graduating from competitive 5 pin bowling to enjoying bridge parties with her close circle of friends. Her amazing sewing and knitting skills were appreciated and passed on to a lucky few. Ann will never be forgotten by all those who were fortunate enough to be part of her life.
The family would like to thank the staff of Maitland Manor for the care and compassion she received for the last 1-1/2 years.
Following Ann’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of her life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Goderich on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 2-4 pm. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of your choice, gratefully acknowledged and may be arranged through McCallum & Palla Funeral Home, 519-524-7345.
