Jan (Jeannette Bryan) (Bond) Noyes, died at the age of 101, on June 24, 2009, at The Heritage Center in Evansville, Indiana.

She was born in Evansville, Indiana, on February 2, 1908. Her parents were John B. Bryan and Sophia Moore Bryan. She was a member of First Church of Christ Scientist in Evansville, Indiana.

As a young woman, she attended Stanley Hall School and was in the first four year graduating class of Bosse High School [1928] in Evansville. She then studied at the Frank Young Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois. She later opened her own studio in the Stevent Building, on State Street in Chicago.

Quite by accident, she was offered the position of receptionist in the beauty salon of Marshall Field's Oak Park store, and later went on to manage it. From there, she managed salons in Saks Fifth Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, and then in Beverly Hills, California. She also managed salons at I. Magnin in Beverly Hills and in Los Angeles. She was offered the management and supervision of Neiman Marcus salon in Dallas, Texas, as well as Revlon's new salon in New York. Because her husband, Clarence L. "Bud" Bond, was well established as a sound technician with the major movie studios, she refused.

When Bud died in 1959, she sold her home in Beverly Hills, and accepted a supervisory job in San Francisco where she supervised twenty-six major department store salons in and around the San Francisco area. Five years later she gave up her career to marry J. Frank Noyes of Northridge, California, and moved back to southern California.

Later, after Frank's retirement, she and Frank moved to New Harmony, Indiana, where they enjoyed restoring and occupying a vintage home. Frank Noyes died in 1985. Jan moved into Evansville where she lived on her own until only very recently.

She is the last of her generation, having had her twin brothers; James D. Bryan D.D.S. and John M. Bryan, D.D.S. predecease her. She is survived by niece, Sally Bryan Troutman and her husband, Harry Troutman, of Louisville Ky.; and by four nephews, all in Evansville, John J. "Jerry" Bryan, James W. Bryan and his wife, Mary Bippus Bryan, Thomas H. Bryan and his wife, Karen Hollahan Bryan, and Robert J. Bryan and his wife, Barbara Hamsley Bryan. She is also survived by ten grandnieces and nephews; and 8 great-grandnieces and nephews.

Funeral arrangements are being made through Werry Funeral Homes with internment in Maple Hill Cemetery in New Harmony, Indiana. Graveside services will be conducted on Sunday, June 28, beginning at 2 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to First Church of Christ Scientist, 2301 Oak Hill Road, Evansville IN 47725.
