Dr. Bryan was a member of the School of Nursing Faculty from 1987 until her death in 2001. Audrey was an enthusiastic pediatric nurse practitioner, a passionate educator, and a dedicated researcher. She cared deeply about families; she was especially committed to assisting families to be successful and to enjoy parenting their young children. “Children will challenge us. If they didn’t, we would never let them go to learn new things, to do new things…to become the person they will become.” Audrey Bryan, 2001. A thank-you note should be sent to Rev. Thomas Bryan and Family in care of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation office, S-214.
