Margaret Jeanette Bryan

Margaret J. Bryan passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on May 6, 2015. Marge, a native Arizonan, was born Aug 15, 1919 in Prescott, AZ. She was from a true Arizona pioneering family that traces its roots back to the 1880s. She grew up in Peoria, AZ where her father owned the General Store and Post Office. Later, the family moved to Tucson, where she attended Tucson High School and then graduated with an education degree from the University of Arizona. She taught in Safford, AZ until she met her husband, the late John Edward Bryan, when he was stationed in Tucson. He was in the Army Air Corp (Air Force) during WWII. After they married, they moved to Phoenix and started a family. Marge is survived by two sons, Charles (Becky) and Randy (Carolyn). Her middle son, Daniel, passed away in February of this year. Marge also has seven grandchildren, Dan, Lynn, Jeff, Lisa, Sean, Tim, Mike and one great-granddaughter, Samantha. Her sister, Kathryn, lives in CA and her brother, Art, in Tucson. Marge loved square dancing and round dancing. She and John danced until his passing, enjoying the friends and fun for over 30 years. Margaret's great love and passion was her family, and she was completely dedicated to them. Her dedication serves as a great example to us all and encourages us to cherish the wonderful moments we have with our loved ones.
