Mary Catherine Ryan

She was a loving mother and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was so proud of all her grandchildren and blessed to have two great grandchildren before her passing. Mary was a devoted Catholic her whole life. She enjoyed the simplest of things in life. She loved people visiting her, talking with the many people in her community, arts and crafts, and also loved a good game of Bingo.

She was fan of the Red Sox and Patriot’s and loved to speak her mind on how good or bad they did. She had a quick Irish wit and was always good for a chuckle in her many stories and loved to hear a good bit of gossip too. As long as it didn’t interfere with her watching Days of our Lives back in the day.

She is predeceased by her parents Margaret C. (McElroy) Ryan and Charles E. Ryan and also her youngest sister Patricia (Patsy) Botelle. She was the loving mother of Frank H. Breard and his wife Robin of Texas, Lisa M. Salisbury and her husband Steven of Cranston, Christine Mary Coccoli and her husband Peter of Cranston and Dawn A. Sousa and her husband Michael of Kentucky. She was the proud grandmother of Joseph Breard, Courtney (Salisbury) Peloquin, Lauren Salisbury, Peter Coccoli IV, Nicholas Breard, Aaron Coccoli and Emily Sousa. She was blessed to have two great grandchildren Evelyn May Breard and Lukas Richard Peloquin. She was the sister of Charles Ryan, Elaine Bruneau, twin sister to Margaret Quinn, Ann Lizak and John Ryan.
