Brianna married Ryan Wagner on the beach at Seaside, Ore., on March 31, 2007. The couple has one daughter Kylie. The family moved back to Sandpoint in 2008.

She will be remembered for her infectious smile that could always light up a room. She loved to have fun and laugh, and her newfound joy was being a mother and wife.

She also enjoyed snowboarding, painting, drawing, reading, surfing and spending time on the beach.

Her miniature longhaired daschund, "Dahlia" will miss her.
