Teresa Ryan, known in the punk scene as Lorna Doom of The Germs, passed away last week on Jan. 16 after suffering from cancer.
Her family issued the following statement:
Teresa Ryan a/k/a Lorna Doom was always a woman of mystery. So much so, that even in her final days as she fought a tough, year-long battle with cancer, very few people even knew she was ill. She kept a very close knit social circle, and those who knew her and loved her always respected her desire for privacy.
When she finally lost her struggle with cancer at 12:50 pm yesterday, Wednesday January 16th, it came as a shock to many, as she had chosen to not burden others with what she was going through.
SPB's thoughts are with her loved ones. Give The Germs' (GI) a spin in honor.
