Obituary: Mary Ryan Vittitow, 88
Mary Ryan Vittitow, 88, died Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, at her home surrounded by her loving children. She was one of the sweetest, dignified, elegant, and beautiful ladies that you could ever meet. She loved quilting, playing cards, and games. She was an avid reader and loved to watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, but what she loved most was spending time with her children, her grandchildren, and her siblings. She had an enormous amount of love in her heart for each one of them and this love was completely unconditional. She was the only person that had six children that everyone of them thought they were her favorite.
Her obituary portrait is an oil painting by her granddaughter, Olivia Vittitow.
She was proceeded in death by her parents, Joe and Mable Ryan; her loving husband, James “Ernest” Vittitow; one son, Christopher Ryan Vittitow; one granddaughter, Stacy Jean Holbert; one grandson, Christopher Ryan Spalding; two sisters, Emma O’Bryan and Loiis Fogle; and two brothers, Bill Ryan and Sam Ryan.
She is survived by three daughters, Peggy Boone, Phyllis (Fred) Limbocker, and Julie Wilkerson; three sons, Jimmy (Julie) Vittitow, David (Pat) Vittitow, and Bruce (Jill) Vittitow; 14 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.
The funeral is limited to immediate family due to COVID-19.
