Beverly Jean Dryman

Beverly Jean Dryman was born October 25, 1932 to Virgil and Lillian Dennis in West Los Angeles, California and passed away November 30, 2011 at home in Redlands, California. Bev was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Hank Dryman, who died on January 16, 2011. Bev is survived by her children Paul Champion, daughter-in-law Denise Champion, Andrew Dryman, Exelia Ann Dryman and Julie Lancy. She was a loving grandmother and great grandmother and she leaves behind seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Bev was a devoted wife, mom, and grandma who in her life enjoyed movies, music, art, bowling, the casino, pinochle and canasta, horse racing, traveling and dining out. She worked for Bank of America as a loan officer for more than 30 years until she retired to join her husband Hank in building Fine Feathered Friends, the wholesale pet supply business they began in their home in Canoga Park, California. After selling the business in 1993, Bev retired in Cherry Valley, California where she lived in her "dream house" the remainder of her days. Those who were fortunate to know Bev were familiar with her kindness, endless generosity and playful sense of humor. We are thankful for the time she was here with us. Her family and friends will love and remember her forever.
