Joan F. Ryan, AKA Mom, Gma, JR, Sherlock Joan, Aunt and Friend, passed away on February 24, 2023 surrounded by family after a brief transition to at home support with Calvary Hospice Care. Joan was the epitome of a life well lived. She loved adventure, travel, trips to Atlantic City, playing Pokeno, trying new restaurants, the theater, dancing, but most of all her family and friends. She prayed each day to God, Mother Mary and multiple saints for everyone she loved. Joan derived great pleasure from cooking and watching people eat her delicious meals and baked goods, especially her renowned Irish Soda Bread! She loved seeing her balcony filled with flowers in Spring and Summer, especially orange and coral ones. She opened her home and heart to all.
The last five years were a challenge, but Joan was very determined and a strong warrior. She led by example and maintained dignity throughout all her health setbacks. She taught us how to celebrate life each day, laugh each day and live life to the fullest.
Her request was in lieu of flowers to donate to the restoration of “The Great Doors” at St. Joseph Church, celebrating the 150th Anniversary

Carmela found the greatest joy in her endless support for her children and family, watching her grandsons grow up, baking and cooking with them, walks on the beach, and collecting seashells. She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued. She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella. She is also survived by her sister Carol Zerbo (husband Mike), as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Tomasina Passarelli and Joan Rammairone (husband Arthur). A funeral mass will be held on May 20th at 10:30am at St. Ignatius Loyola Church at 980 Park Avenue, New York, NY.
