Judy Lee Ryan

Judy Lee Ryan was born on October 2, 1949, to Clarence Clark Ryan and Shirley Earlene Thompson in Schenectady, New York. Surrounded by her loved ones, she passed away on November 26, 2022, in Dallas, Texas.

In 1967, Judy graduated from Garland High School in Garland, Texas. She enjoyed a career in house cleaning and food delivery until her retirement in 2017.

Among many hobbies, she loved shopping and vacations with her family. Judy was an amazing mother and loved her children dearly. Her most significant achievement was raising and nurturing her four beautiful daughters alone. 

Judy will be fondly remembered for her bossy, loyal, and feisty nature. Her example of independence and courage will be a lasting inspiration to her children and grandchildren, and her loving spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence Clark Ryan and Shirley Earlene Thompson, and nephew, Ryan Landry.

Those left to cherish precious memories include her daughters: Jennifer Ryan (Marvin Chestnut), Tiffany Graham, Erica Graham, and Cassie Graham; siblings: Gail Ryan Rushing (Trey), Laurie Ryan Williams (John), Tom Ryan (Beverly), Janet Ryan Hickman (Mark), and Jimmy Ryan (Theresa); aunt, Donna Ryan Merritt (William); grandchildren: Aaron (Kaitlynn), Bria (Rashad), Abigail, Madelyn, Brendan, Jakayla, Kira, Jaleea "Baby", Kasen, and Jaxon; great-grandchildren, Elijah, and Emery; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
