Snyder Funeral Home
Ann Louise Beyrer was born to Carl and Olga Schubert April 27, 1939 in Alamosa,
Colorado. She died at her home in Grand Junction, Colorado surrounded by her
loving husband and family May 28, 2026.
Her family moved to Grand Junction in her early years. She attended schools in
Grand Junction and graduated from Grand Junction High School in 1957. She worked
hard helping to support her family. She worked for Colorado Hickok Manufacturing
and later as a ticket agent for Frontier Airlines for about 30 years. During
this time she met Robert Corcoran and they were married in 1966. He later died
in 1981. Frontier Airlines gave her many happy experiences as she was Miss
Crystal in 1971 promoting Ski Colorado, meeting many celebrities and as always
helping many people with their air travels. Many people remember her as the only
woman at the ticket counter for many years.
A few years later, she reconnected with her childhood friend, Terry Beyrer, who
she married August 8, 1988. Together they enjoyed fishing, camping, boating,
traveling across the United States and most of all spending time with family.
You never saw her without her knitting bag as she was always creating some
knitted, crocheted or needlepoint project which many family members received as
loving gifts.
Ann was a very energetic person and enjoyed volunteering for the CSU Tri River
Area extension service, judging crafts at the Mesa County Fair, helping at the
Health fair at Grand Junction fairground, judging crafts at 4H fairs around
western Colorado, and helping collect items for the Toys for Tots at Christmas.
She was an inspiration to many for her generosity and kindness.
Ann Louise Beyrer was a devoted wife, loving mother and caring grandmother. She
will be missed, but we are all blessed to have had her in our lives.
