Glynda Ryan

Glynda Sue was born on Tuesday, December 19th, 1950 in Seminole, Tx to parents Walter N. Dotson and Rachel Virginia Dotson. Glynda spent her childhood in Beaumont Tx, during these formative years Glynda spent many weekends at the coast. These trips fostered a deep love of the ocean and beach which she carried throughout the rest of her life. As a teenager the Dotson’s moved to Odessa Texas where she attended Odessa High School, graduating in 1969. Glynda became a mother in 1972, welcoming Troy Thomas Ingram into this world. In 1973 she was graced with a second son, Jason Paul Ingram; she spent the rest of her life adoring her boys. Determined to provide the best life possible for her young family, Glynda began a career in banking, finding immediate success due to her outgoing personality, desire to help others, and strong work ethic. She spent over 30 years as a banker, working her way into management positions and developing many lifelong friendships along the way. In 1979 she met her soulmate and the love of her life, Willie Ryan. They quickly fell in love and were married on November 24th, 1981. Two years later Glynda was blessed with a daughter, Rachel Lee “Ryan” Broussard. Glynda and Willie raised their young family in Midland/Odessa in a loving, happy home. In the late 90’s the Ryans’ relocated to the Houston area, where their family continued to grow with the addition of eight grandchildren. Her grandchildren were her world, and her most prized title of “Mimi” meant everything to her. Mimi lived her life for her grandchildren, her first priority was always their happiness. Finding something fun to do was always on the days agenda.. Fishing, ice cream, go carts, mini golf, movies, and shopping, as long as she was with the grandkids, everything was good. Glynda loved music, singing (she had the voice of an angel), dancing and spending time with her friends and family. She had a God given talent for decorating and entertaining. She loved travelling with Willie, often finding adventures on RV trips. Napa valley was one of her favorite destinations.. and she always made time for a trip to the beach. Anytime was a good time for a trip to Galveston. Her love of the beach is carried forward through her kids and grandchildren. She made such a tremendous impact on so many peoples’ lives. Her guidance, words of wisdom and impeccable standards will be remembered by those close to her forever. She truly embodied the dignity and grace of a “classy southern lady”. We will all miss her dearly and always remember her beautiful, contagious smile. Glynda is survived by her loving husband, Willie Ryan; their three children and their spouses: Troy and Kim Ingram, Jason and Jamie Ingram and Rachel and John Broussard; and Mojo, her favorite dog. Eight Grandchildren Avery, Addison and Jett Ingram; Rylee and Reese Ingram; Shane Steffens; and Jackson and Gracie Broussard. Her siblings Michael Dotson, Neel and Sandra Dotson, Carol and Robbie Vaughn. Along with her seven nieces and nephews and their children. She was undoubtedly the matriarch of this amazing family.
