Mrs. Bartlett Ryan worked in various positions for 45 years, most recently as an administrative assistant and proofreader for Ebasco Engineering, Manhattan. She began her working life in 1940 as a secretary in Manhattan for the former Cavendish Trading Co., and later for Bethlehem Steel on Staten Island. She also was a telephone operator for New York Telephone on the Island, and then resumed her secretarial career for various employers, including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and as a legal secretary with a Stapleton law firm. She retired from Ebasco Engineering in 1985. "She was a woman who worked hard, and who loved her family and friends," said her daughter, Noreen Noel. "Most important in her life were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren." Mrs. Bartlett Ryan was a member and past president of the Stolzenthaler Council of Columbiettes, Staten Island. She was a parishioner of St. Francis Cathedral, Metuchen, and belonged to the Rosary Altar Society and Legion of Mary. Her first husband of 22 years, Dennis Bartlett, died in 1963.
