Obituary for Sheila Ryan Jones (Ryan)

Sheila Ryan Jones of Newington and Simsbury, CT died November 20, 2018, at the age of 68, after a long courageous battle of living with Alzheimer’s. She goes on to join her husband Charles Jones, along with her parents Albert and Helen Ryan, brother Kenny, her in-laws, sisters-in-law, Carol and Linda, and dear friend Jackie Ronning. Sheila leaves behind her son, Bryan Jones and wife Jennifer; daughter, Heather Jones; brothers, Peter Ryan and wife Bev, George Ryan and wife Patty, Larry Ryan and wife Lu and Ricky as well as several nieces and nephews and dear friends, especially Marty Cavalier. In her loving wake she also leaves behind her grandchildren Taige O’Connor and Mason and Lydia Jones.
Born and raised in Newington, CT amongst a large, tight knit family, Sheila attended Newington High School where she met her future husband Charlie. She subsequently went on to nursing school at St. Mary’s in Waterbury, where she found her calling. She practiced nursing for the next thirty years while her and Charlie raised a family in Simsbury. Sheila’s unwavering compassion was evident in the way she genuinely cared for her family, friends, patients, co-workers and even strangers - always with a contagious smile.
