Elaine Bryan, age 67, devoted wife and beloved sister, passed away June 13, 2026. Elaine was known for her love of her husband Dave, her family, and especially her dogs. She is survived by her sisters Adine Gentzkow, Carol Sanchez, Jeanette (Dick) Wayne, Mary (Sam) Lusk, Cecelia Johnston, Renee Kiczek, and Diane Martinez, her brothers Paul (Lorie), Mike (Lisa), and Joe (Jennifer), her stepchildren Joel (Cristy) Bryan and Jennifer Bryan, and her dogs Glenda, Bella, Lonnie, Lacey, and Luc. She also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and four grandchildren. Elaine was preceded in death by her parents Eugene and Marjorie Crepeau, her husband Dave (December 15, 2025), and her sister Cathy Schuck.

Elaine's many activities and interests over her lifetime included body building, snow and water skiing (while her and Dave’s knees were still good), boating, and "glamping" at Elephant Butte Lake. She loved dogs, most recently Cavalier King Charles spaniels, with a passion for taking in dogs with special needs. Elaine and her husband Dave also donated to many charities including the ASPCA, Tunnels to Towers, First Responders, and Veterans. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to these charities in her name.
