Rose Tennery Bryan was born on Friday, September 23, 2016 in Effingham, IL to Kenneth Bryan and Macy Reed. She was a first grader at Beecher City Grade School. Rosie was one of the funniest kids you’d ever meet. She was full of energy and joy and was always the life of the party. She was a talented mimic and always kept everyone laughing. She loved to help cook supper. She also loved art and was very excited about all the art supplies she had just received on her birthday. She loved music, dancing, and performing. She definitely had a flair for the dramatic and loved to entertain. She had just joined a dance class and loved to practice her moves at all hours of the day. Rosie loved her extended family and cousins and was always ready to have a “party” (cookout). She loved to take care of her baby cousins. She was her mother’s little shadow and followed her everywhere. Rosie would never sit by herself in the living room; she always had to be on her mom’s lap or directly next to her, hip to hip. She also enjoyed spending time with her grandparents, but more than anyone else, Rosie adored her brother Walker.

She is survived by: her mother, Macy Reed, Beecher City; maternal grandparents, Rachel Reed, Beecher City and Mark Reed, Beecher City; paternal grandparents, Gerald and Janice Bryan McNeely, Watson; maternal great grandmother, Jeanie Doty, Beecher City; aunts, Mariah Reed, Beecher City, Camie (Daniel) Wilke, Mulkeytown, Beau Reed, Beecher City, Honora Reed, Alma; cousins, Denver, Paloma, Manny, and Audie; and many loving extended family.

She was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Bryan and brother, Walker Bryan.
