It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Beatrice “Jane” Bride of Roseville on August 20, 2025, at Courtyard Estates of Monmouth. Beatrice “Jane” (Brothersen)Bride was born on March 23, 1937, to Harold and Theresa (McGarry) Brothersen in Victor, Iowa. She was the youngest of four siblings, all of whom have passed.
She married her one true love, Fred Bride, who proposed on their second date. They celebrated their 65th Wedding anniversary on August 13th. They spent most of those 65 years working side by side on the farm, chatting/socializing with neighbors, dancing, and just enjoying each other’s company.
She graduated from St. Ambrose Nursing School in Davenport with her RN and later her bachelor’s degree from Western Illinois University. She was a nurse by training but a caregiver by nature. Jane made everyone feel accepted, heard, and loved. Her home was always a welcoming place, filled with laughter, warmth, and understanding. She was a hands-on grandmother and always loved to care for her flowers, garden, and Fred. As a woman of faith, she was a long-time member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Raritan.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Fred; James (Belinda) Bride of Davenport, Sarah (Duston) Anderson of West Branch, Iowa, and Thomas (Joy) Bride of Palm Harbor, Florida; 8 Grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and bonus granddaughters, along with many nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be on Friday, August 29th, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The Rosary will be said at 5:00 pm, and at 7:00 pm, we will have time to share memories at the Moore Memorial Home in Roseville. You may also meet with the family on Saturday, August 30th, beginning at 9:30 am until the mass at 11:00 am at St. Patrick’s Church in Raritan, Illinois, with Father Tim Hepner officiating. The interment will follow in the cemetery with a luncheon to follow at St. Patrick’s Hall.
Memorials in Janes name will go to Immaculate Conception School, Monmouth. For more information or to leave an online condolence, please visit our website at www.moorememorial.com
