Resident of San Jose

Maureen was born in Fort Thomas, Kentucky to Elmer and Betty Veneman. She was educated through college in Kentucky’s Catholic schools.

After graduation, she went to work for ATT. First in Cincinnati, then New Jersey, New York City, and finally climbed the corporate ladder transferring to CA as a network design analyst and global sales representative. After retirement from ATT, she represented an exclusive line of ladies clothing. She took those skills to the Career Closet where, with the help of her clients, she dressed women for success as they tried to re-enter the work force.

She dedicated her time, talent, and treasure to Stone Church of Willow Glen (Presbyterian) where she served on a variety of boards, committees, & governing bodies.

(for a time until she could no longer, sang in the choir.) She enjoyed golf and was once the Handicap Champion at The Villages Golf and Country Club. Also, her beach house in Aptos and travel with her husband Michael were sources of great pleasure. She loved The Villages where she resided for twenty-eight years.

Maureen was an elegant lady and a beautiful soul who will be missed by family and friends alike. Any donations should be made in Maureen Ryan’s name to the Career Closet and/or Sacred Heart Community Center. A special thanks for the love and care of Tam Votothe end.
