Michele D. Ryan's Obituary
Michele Ryan, 66, passed away unexpectedly in her home on 03/05/2019. She was born the daughter of Harold (Bud) Ryan and Norma Ryan of Kokomo, Indiana. Michele was preceded in death by both of her parents and her only brother Michael. Michele was born, raised and lived the majority of her life in Kokomo, Indianapolis area. She left behind, her Blonde Lab Jake and her kitty Emmie as well as many friends that she touched during her life. She graduated from Kokomo and also held a bachelors from Indiana University. She worked at Chrysler in Kokomo and held many other positions in Kokomo and the surrounding area prior to moving to Indianapolis in 2002. There she worked at St. Vincent Pediatric Rehab, St. Vincent Main, Wishard and IU Hospitals in administration and office management. She moved to Zephyrhills Florida in 2016 to enjoy retirement. She began working a part time job at Sunset Memorial Chapel in 2018 as an assistant wherever needed. Anyone who knew Michele knew her love for most every living thing on Gods earth. There really was not a living thing that she did not love. Whether it be a creature or a plant. She showed love to her pets, and all animals and humans she came in contact with. She believed in treating people with respect and love and that love was reciprocated. She will live on in our hearts and minds. Her blonde hair blowing in the wind while driving her little Beetle convertible. And oh.. her smile and her laugh and the brightness of her blue eyes. How will any of us not smile when we remember those things. We love you and miss you Michele, and we will always “have your back”. We hope that there is just a little bit of you in each of us.
A Memorial service will be held on Friday March 22, 2019 at 6 pm at Sunset Funeral Home 11005 N. US Hwy 301 Thonotosassa FL 33592.
