Dorothy O'Donnell O'Ryan
Dorothy O'Ryan died on March 20. She was born in Denver in 1923, the daughter of Canton O'Donnell and Dorothy Bryant O'Donnell, and attended Denver Public Schools, graduating from East High School.
She married John J. O'Ryan in 1943. He departed the marriage in 1971. As a result, Dorothy went to work and achieved success as a tax accountant at Arthur Young and Company, and after retirement, consulted independently for several years. Over time, Dorothy cared for many clients with compassion and loyalty. One acquaintance described Dorothy as "always caring more for others than for herself."
She is survived by a sister, Mary Ann Griffin (Mrs. Lynn W.), a brother Canton O'Donnell, Jr., and his wife Ann, sister-in-law Jean O'Donnell and many nieces, nephews, and devoted friends. She was preceded in death by brother Bryant O'Donnell.
A descendant of one of the original founders of the Grand Lake Yacht Club, Dorothy maintained the financial affairs and records of the Grand Lake Yacht Club for many years. She was the source of history and information for Club officers for decades, going so far as to author a 164-page book about the Club, "Sailing Above The Clouds," first published in August of 2002.
She was a member of Monday Forum, Ticker Tape Investment Club, and a foreign affairs group. In earlier years, Dorothy was active in the Junior League, American Red Cross, and International Institute of Education.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 25, at the Christ Episcopal Church, 2950 South University Blvd, Denver. A second memorial and burial will be at Grand Lake, Colorado, on a summer date yet to be determined.
Contributions in Dorothy's memory are suggested to Hospice of St. John, Denver Dumb Friends League, or Grand Lake Area Historical Society, P.O. Box 656, Grand Lake, CO, 80447.
