Haddon and ex-husband shared daughter , who married 52-year-old Blucas in 2009. (Ryan shares two children with Blucas, as well as two older kids with ex .)
Later on Friday, Ryan, 53, paid tribute to her mother’s legacy.
“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” the journalist wrote via Instagram. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”
She added, “In conversation, she could go to the deepest of places and also soar the highest heights of spiritual understanding. She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”
Ryan further noted that she will continue to “honor” Haddon’s memory.
“I always trust the timing of things. There are no accidents and certainly how we enter and exit this world is mystical and unknowable,” Ryan added in her upload. “She was a high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul’s evolution, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete. I honor her. I bow to her. I revere all the paths and adventures taken. I saw her be golden and always reach for the Light in all areas of her life.”
She concluded, “Thank you everyone who was a part of her journey that helped to shape her, enrich her and activate her to become the absolute gem that she is. She loved so many. A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well-lived.”
Ryan also reshared the post onto her Instagram Story, with the caption, “Rest in Light, Mom. So grateful for this beautiful should and to be her daughter this lifetime.”
Haddon is survived by Ryan and her four grandchildren.
