William H. Browand Obituary (Age 79) William H. Browand went to be with the Lord on August 4, 2018 at home after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. Bill grew up in Altoona, PA and entered the U.S. Air Force at age 17 after the death of his parents. He retired from the Air Force after 20 years where he served as a Boom Operator during the Vietnam War. He was the recipient of the Air Force Commendation Medal and the Air Medal. The discipline and patriotism he learned in the Air Force never left him as friends and family will attest. He worked as an x-ray technician until he and his wife bought a semi-truck and drove for Mayflower, traveling the 48 states. Bill assisted and supported his wife through nursing school before they made Spokane their permanent residence. Mr. Browand is survived by his wife, Mary; two siblings, Shirley Myers and Paul Browand; and three children, Debbie Alldredge, Paul Browand, and Gretchen Kelling. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Washington State Veteran�s Cemetery in Medical Lake on August 31, 2018 at 10:30am. � To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of William, please visit our Tree Store.
