Margaret Therese Ryan, a long-time resident of Lake City, Co passed away Thursday the 4th of May, 2017 after a long battle with Alzheimer's. 

Born in 1925 in Chicago, Ill, she lived with her three brothers and one sister. In 1949, she married the love of her life, Jim Ryan. Together they shared many adventures. She and her husband moved from Chicago to Lake City, Co. where they spent the rest of their life together. Her beloved community was always close to her heart and everyone who knew her was lucky to share in her unending generosity. After her husband passed away in 2008, her health began to decline and she moved to a lower altitude and warmer climate in Southern California with her nephew and niece William and Marsha Carey. Although she lost her ability to recognize her family and friends, to speak and to walk, she lived her last years with a smile on her face. 

Therese loved helping others, socializing with with friends, cooking and had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. She is survived by her many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews and great grand nieces and nephews. 

Her final resting place will be beside her husband in Lake City.
