Joyce Mae Bryan, a spirited and vivacious woman, born and raised in Kellogg, Idaho, and later moving to Washington where she lived the majority of her life, passed away peacefully in her sleep from natural causes in her new home in Boise, Idaho on September 21, 2007. Our Beloved Wife and Mother was 76.
Joyce and her husband of 60 years, Lynn Gordon Bryan, moved from their home in Mountlake Terrace, Washington to Boise, Idaho ten months prior to be near their daughter and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A woman known for her wit, intelligence and compassion, Joyce was a nurse for many years in Washington where she worked with health professionals in Everett, Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds. A skilled homemaker and enthusiastic student of life, she enriched all those in which she came into contact with.
Joyce Mae Bryan was born in Kellogg, Idaho on December 8, 1930. She was fond of telling how she and her future husband, an Army man straight out of combat in Europe, first met when she was 6 years old. They spent their childhood playing on the same neighborhood block together, married when she was 17, and shortly thereafter she gave birth to her first daughter, Pamela.
With little to her name, she and her family left Idaho for Washington where her husband finished college and found work with Boeing, the famous airplane manufacturing company in Seattle, Washington, in 1952 a company he stayed with until his retirement in 1985.
When she was pregnant with her second child, her daughter Joy, she was a busy homemaker with aspirations for work as a health care professional, but she took no clear action in the nursing profession until after the birth of her son, Michael. She started school in 1980, completed her nursing degree and worked in the field until she retired in the late 1990's.
In addition to her husband Lynn Bryan, her daughters, Pamela Burton and Joy Bryan-Markley, and her son Michael Bryan, she is survived by 3 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed. We loved her dearly.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, September 25 at Bell Funeral Home in Boise, Idaho at 11am. Interment will be held following the services at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery.
