Elizabeth Ann Traeger Ryan passed through death on June 6, 2016, at the age of 92 in New Braunfels, Texas. "Tudy" was born April 1, 1924 in Seguin, Texas to Andrew J. and Katie Blumberg Traeger. \r\n \r\nAfter graduating from Seguin High School in 1942, she attended Santa Rosa School of Nursing in San Antonio, graduating in 1945 as a Registered Nurse.
