Beverly Jean Bryan

Beverly Jean (Hansen) Bryan, 79 years old, of Wenatchee, WA, passed away peacefully with her loving children by her side after a long and courageous battle with cancer on February 28, 2017. She was born to Carroll and Viola (Larson) Hansen on April 25, 1937, in Stanley, ND. She grew up in the Stanley community attending school and graduated from Stanley High School in 1955. She attended business school in Minneapolis, MN. She moved to Wenatchee to be closer to her extended family. She met William Bryan, a soldier in the Air Force, stationed in Moses Lake, WA on a blind date. They were married on December 19, 1958. They lived in several locations around Washington State. They raised their two children in Cashmere. After thirty-five years in Cashmere and upon retiring from the City of Wenatchee Utility Billing Department, they moved to Wenatchee in 2002. Bev was active in the Lutheran church over the years and taught Vacation Bible School and Sunday school. She was currently a member of the Assembly of God in Wenatchee. Bev loved the outdoors, hiking, camping and biking all over Washington, Oregon and Arizona, keeping notes of her favorite places on her maps and collecting rocks as mementos. She especially loved the ocean and Icicle Creek. Many hours were spent with her feet dangling in the water whenever she had the chance. Later in life Bev enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, she treasured each memory she made with them. Bev is proceeded in death by her parents and her husband of over 50 years William. She is survived by one sister Devonna Schubert, Wenatchee, her children: son Greg Bryan and wife Regina of Cashmere and their children Payton, Cole wife Emily, Mitch and Shay; one daughter Pamela (Bryan) Peer and husband Dean Peer and their children Katie (Kuntz) husband Patrick Kuna and Kyle Kuntz.
