She was preceded in death by her parents, Ensel V. Evenson and Elly E. Evenson.

Montolbano, Judy L. Ledet, Jean M. Ryall, Mary K. Ballenger, and Peter T. Ryall as well as 27 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Still miss you every day mom. Ellie really misses sending you flowers. I loved our drives the last couple of years. Puzzling and watching Andy Griffith were so much fun. Thank you for your love and being a great mom. I hope you are resting in peace and loving heaven. Please ask God to help me help Ellie. Things are so hard. Please ask Mary and Joseph and all the angels and Saints to pray for Ellie and give her some healing that she may serve God with a better body and less painful days. I love you mom.

Happy belated birthday Grandma! Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. I will always remember when we used to go school shopping on tax free weekend and have lunch at Casa Ole. Thanks for all the love and life lessons you gave out to your massive family. Love you always and rest in peace Grandma!

I'll always remember watching game show reruns with you over the summer when we came to stay. Dinner at the cafeteria, playing board games and doing jigsaw puzzles. Thank you for everything, I love you grandma.

My deepest sympathies go out to all of the Ryall family. I didn't really know your mother, but I knew many of you back in high school, and that is enough to know what kind of woman she must have been, to have raised such a beautiful and loving family! May your wonderful memories, and the loving advice I'm sure she gave, sustain you and be with you forever. Sincerely, Celeste Salhab
