Susan Ruth (Olson) Ryan, 82 of Hyde passed away in Clearfield on Tuesday December 13, 2016.
Born July 3, 1934 in Clearfield, the daughter of Gunnard C. and Ruth (Armstrong) Olson.
She graduated in 1952 from Clearfield High School and in 1954 from Lycoming College with an associate degree. She was employed for the Drs. Erhard early in her career.
On September 3, 1956 Susan married Robert E. Ryan at St. Francis Church in Clearfield. While raising her children, she handled the office management for Ryan Brothers Coal Company.
She was a parishioner of St. Francis Catholic Church and volunteered in many capacities for her church and St. Francis School. She was a member of the St. Francis Rosary and Altar Society.
Her devotion and support for her husband, children and grandchildren is her greatest legacy. She enjoyed family time at camp, Treasure Lake, Penn State football games and never missed the grandchildren's sporting events.

She is also survived by nieces, nephews and cousins; a brother-in-law, Thomas Ryan and his wife Elaine and a sister-in-law, Mary Alice Olson.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother Richard G. Olson.
The family invites all friends to join them for a mass of Christian burial at St. Francis Catholic Church, Clearfield on Saturday at 1:00 PM with Msgr. Henry L. Krebs as celebrant. Interment will follow in the Calvary Cemetery, Clearfield.
The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the St. Francis Educational Endowment Fund, 212 S. Front Street, Clearfield or to the Joseph and Elizabeth Shaw Public Library, 1 S. Front Street, Clearfield.
