Elsa Maria Rylands, Ossining, NY—The Ossining community is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Elsa Maria Rylands, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and educator. Elsa passed away on the evening of Thursday, August 8, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and dedication.
Born in Bogota, Colombia, Elsa’s life was marked by her gentle spirit and commitment to family and community. She moved to the United States in the mid-1970s, where she became an integral part of the Unification movement and later dedicated herself to teaching special education students at Ossining High School. Elsa’s kindness and warmth touched the lives of many students and colleagues over her 23 years of service.
Elsa was married to Alan W Rylands, and together they built a loving home in Ossining, NY. Their marriage, which began with a mass wedding in Madison Square Garden in 1982, was blessed with five children: Arthur, Albert, Adele, Alfred, and Edward. Elsa was also a proud grandmother to her two-year-old grandson, Robin, who was the apple of her eye.
Alan Rylands has organized a fundraiser titled "Honoring Elsa Maria Rylands’ Legacy" to help preserve and honor Elsa’s memory. The goal is to raise $15,000, and although the fundraiser has just begun, the community is encouraged to contribute and support the Rylands family during this difficult time.
Elsa’s life was one of service, whether through her work at Ossining High School or her involvement in communal activities. Her presence will be greatly missed, but the love she shared with her family and community will continue to shine brightly.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Elsa Maria Rylands’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
