It is with deep love and gratitude that we celebrate the life of Patsy Fern Ryan, who passed away on September 3rd, 2025, at the age of 85. She was a remarkable woman whose kindness, faith, and unwavering love touched all who knew her.
Born on January 6th, 1940, in Johnson City, TN. Pat lived a life centered on family, faith, and compassion. She had a special gift for seeing the good in others and believed strongly in the power of second chances. Her home was always open and was considered a place of warmth, comfort, and love, where family members found refuge and belonging in times of need.
Pat had a deep love for music and a true appreciation for the art of gathering around the table. She delighted in dinner etiquette, not for formality’s sake, but because she understood that meals shared with others were sacred moments of connection.
Above all, Pat was devoted to her family. She is survived by her three beloved children, her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and countless friends who became family through her love and generosity.
She will be remembered not only for the legacy she leaves behind but for the way she made others feel seen, loved, and valued. Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit, her laughter, and her unwavering love will remain in our hearts forever.
John 16:22- “So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”
