Supee “Noy” Ryan
Died unexpectedly on February 26, 2023. She was 76 years old. Beloved wife of Joe for over 52 years. Loving mother of Mikey. Dear sister-in-law of Kathy & Ross Bowman, Rosie Lipovsek, Susie Barbian and John & Carol Ryan. Fond aunt of Deedee Bowman, Shawn Bowman, T.J. Lipovsek and Rachel (Jason) Schulz. She is further survived by many good and dear friends.
Noy was an excellent chef and worked at several restaurants over the years where she introduced many Milwaukeeans to traditional Thai cuisine. Her pride and joy was The Bangkok Orchid on Milwaukee’s Eastside where Noy, along with her husband, owned and operated the restaurant from 1988 until 2006 and where she was the main chef and a large-than-life presence in the kitchen.
Noy was proud of her Thai heritage and was very active in Milwaukee’s Thai community. She was instrumental in helping establish the National Avenue Temple and also helped the Thai community proudly showcase Thai traditions and culture a part of the Holiday Folk Fair.

Joe & Mike: I was very sad to hear about Supee’s passing. I have many good memories of wonderful meals at The Bangkok Orchid.

Noy was one of my favorite people ever! She lit up a room as soon as she walked in. The warm embrace of her hugs, her sweet laugh and her overall fun love of life will never ever be forgotten. I’ve been thinking of you guys so much. So very sad, she will be missed so badky. But the great memories will live on. She was a blast!! Love to you guys, she sure had the most love for her two guys: Joe and Mikey. Love, Becky
Joe, I just found out about Noy. I will try to come to her celebration of life. I’ve thought about you all often. I remember walking into your kitchenand snitching whatever was cooking in your stove. It’s been too long my friend. !! You all are in my heart! Deb ( Conaway) Bernal.
Without a doubt, one of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her love of life was enormous, her devotion to family was incredible. Met Noy and Joe in 1980 and always saw a totally devoted couple. God took a beautiful soul. All my prayers to Joe and Mike.
