I have fond memories of Mrs Ryan being my caring, but nonsense teacher. She had a calmness about her that I still remember today. Mrs Ryan was a teacher who knew how to help the kids who were finding things difficult and not just ones who were excelling.
When ever I returned to Manangatang in my teenage years Mrs Ryan always remembered me and we would have a good chat.
Pat became a role model for me as I too have chosen the Primary School Teaching profession. When I returned to Manangatang as a student teacher Pat was still a teacher I admired.
God bless you Pat. The Holdsworth family appreciate the hours of hard work you put into educating us.
Thinking of the Ryan family during this difficult time but I want you to know she was a special teacher that I will never forget.
Kind Regards and deepest sympathy

Pat, you are a true legend in Manangatang’s teaching profession. You taught with my mum in the 60s, and were still guiding our students with your gentle, caring nature when I arrived in the 80s. On my recent return you were there lending a hand as a CRT. A kind, courteous and thoughtful soul who will be greatly missed. Condolences to Ginge, the boys and family.

We are so saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. In the last month we had some wonderful chats on the phone and shared a few laughs. Pat was a beautiful teacher who treated each student as an individual, with respect and integrity. It was an absolute pleasure to teach with Pat and share a collegiality which included many deep and meaningful conversations. Having her teach my kids, I always knew they were in good hands.
