Remembering Betty Ryan Bullard

A Life of Love and Service

Betty Ryan Bullard, a beloved member of the Cullman community, passed away peacefully at her home on June 6, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was 88 years old.

Born on October 1, 1935, to George Baxter “Doc” Ryan and Bertie Belva Brown Ryan, Betty spent her life spreading joy and making a positive impact on those around her. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who will be deeply missed.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Clyde Ryan, Calvin Ryan, Martin Ryan, Glenn Ryan, and Charles Ryan; and her sister, Edith Ryan Goodner; and her son-in-law, David Hartsell.

A Legacy of Generosity

Beyond her family, Betty was known for her unwavering generosity and compassion. She was a passionate supporter of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and in lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in her honor to this worthy cause.
