Gisela Waltraud (Blasberg) Ryan, MD, 85, formerly of 31 Broadview Drive, died peacefully on Tuesday, July 11, 2017, at Southgate Assisted Living in Shrewsbury, Mass. She was the beloved wife of the late Dr. Robert M. Ryan.

Born near Cologne, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Max Blasberg and Elfriede (Hindrichs) Conrads. She lived in Barrington for 36 years, and worked locally as a radiologist at several private practices and the Providence VA Medical Center. She was an avid walker, skier, skater and bicyclist, enjoyed track and field, and danced at Festival Ballet, whose Nutcracker she attended regularly.

She is survived by her son, Michael Ryan, of Providence, her daughter, Maura E. Ryan, MD, of Chicago, and her sister-in-law, Sister Patricia Ryan, CSJ, of Brentwood, NY.

She will be buried in Forest Chapel Cemetery on Nayatt Road with her husband. There will be a family-only graveside service. Gifts in her honor can be given to the JHC Hospice of Shrewsbury, Mass at http://jewishhealthcarecenter.com/make-a-donation.
