Beverly Kirk Bryan

Beverly Kirk Bryan, age 88 of Louisville, Kentucky passed away at Baptist Health Louisville on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Beverly was a lifelong resident of Louisville, Kentucky. She began her career at AT&T at 17 years old and retired 39 years later as Chief of Operations, at a time it was rare for women to be in management positions.

In 1957 Beverly married her high school sweetheart, Ray Kirk and enjoyed 50 years together, working in their church, traveling and playing with their Bichons Reagan and later Coco, until Ray's death in 2007.

Beverly was a long-time member of Southeast Christian Church and it was there she met Harry Bryan, whom she married in 2010. They spent their 11 years together (with friends and family) traveling and attending University of Louisville ballgames.

The foundation of Beverly's life was her Christian faith and love of family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dave and Eva Risen Scott; sisters, Vernetta Giesler and Alberta Beard; and spouses, Ray Kirk and Harry Bryan.

Beverly is survived by nieces, Sharon Hoellman (Joe) and Pam Bumbera (Ron); great-niece, Kimberly Hoellman; nephew, Robert Giesler (Sherry); and close friends, James Finley and Donna Cahill; and a host of relatives and friends.

Visitation will be 10am to 12pm on Monday, March 25, 2024 at Southeast Christian Church in the Fireside Room, 920 Blankenbaker Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40243. A celebration of Beverly's life will be at Southeast Christian Church in the upstairs Chapel at 12pm, followed by burial at Resthaven Memorial Park.

Expressions of sympathy may be made to the Alzheimer's Association or the Kentucky Humane Society.
