Sr. and Mary Ann Ryan, all of Smyrna, and Robert E. and Margaret Ryan of Odessa; two daughters and a son-in-law, Marianne V. and William Taylor of Newark, and Sheila M. McCall of Rehoboth Beach; two sisters-in-law, Betty Duncan of Gurnee, Ill., and Anna Mae Rogers of Millsboro; 17 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
