Obituary for Madeline A. Ryan
Madeline A. Ryan of Easton, formerly of Milton, MA, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on January 3rd.
Eternally cherished by her son Terence Ryan and his wife Tara of Easton; her brother William Ryan and his wife Mary of Bridgewater; “The Kids”: Celia, Evelyn and James Canavan as well as her “puppy” Murphy. She was also a beloved aunt to her nieces Kerry Piccolo of Braintree, MA, and Kristen Miskey of Pittsford, NY. She was a loving great-aunt and devoted to her many dear friends. She is predeceased by her parents William and Catherine Ryan (Wagner).
Madeline was proud of her uncanny knack for remembering people, places, events and connecting all with the greatest of detail. She enjoyed completing crossword puzzles every day, in pen, especially her Sunday Globe. She also enjoyed going out for a nice meal, being near the beach, watching TV with her son and daughter-in-law or simply relaxing with her puppy on her lap.
Madeline did not just leave a mark on this earth, she blazed a trail. After graduating from Archbishop Cushing HS, she began her career at the City of Boston Law Department and traveled internationally with her friends. Ahead of her time in many ways, she independently raised her son while receiving numerous employee excellence awards while working for the Department of Commerce and Development. After twenty-five years, her decision to take early retirement to care for her mother was made without hesitation, caring for her over the next five years. After her mother passed, Madeline returned to the workforce as a seasonal Sales Associate at Macy’s to fill her days-never expecting to stay on until she stopped working at age 70.
She always enjoyed a new adventure and maintained a positive outlook on life even as a breast cancer survivor and her more recent battle with COPD-always quietly taking on every challenge. She will be forever remembered for her greatest accomplishment, that of Mother.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Saint Pius X Church, 101 Wolcott Road, Milton, Saturday January 7 at 10:30 AM. Family and friends invited. Visiting hours at Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Avenue, EAST MILTON SQUARE, Friday January 6 from 4-8 PM. Burial Saint Joseph Cemetery, West Roxbury.
