Obituary For Edward James Conlan
Edward James Conlan, 76, of Fort Bidwell, California, died April 8, 2026, at Warnerview Skilled Nursing Home in Alturas after a long battle with cancer.

Edward was born June 9, 1949, in Alturas, California, to Jack and Nora Conlan and was raised on the family ranch in Fort Bidwell with six siblings. After graduating high school he went to Ashland, Oregon, where he performed and worked at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival– a lifelong love of theater that continued in later years with community theater in Julian, California.

Edward’s passions included cooking, painting and drawing, and collecting antiques. He loved creating art and writing poetry throughout his life, and was known for his quick wit and enjoyment of visiting with friends and family. He worked as a chef at Tom’s Chicken Shack in Santa Ysabel and at Romano’s in Julian before spending many years working as a convenience store clerk in Palm Desert. Upon retirement he returned to the family home in Fort Bidwell, living there until his health declined and he moved to Warnerview Skilled Nursing Home, whose staff his family gratefully thanks for their care.

He was preceded in death by his parents, jack and Nora Conlan; sister Joan Marie Ethen; brother John Conlan; and sister Marietta Glaus. He is survived by sister Nora Lea Krupp of Modesto, California; sister Anne Marie (Mike) Carey of Boulder, Montana; brother Patrick Conlan (Rick Green) of Oakland, California; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A private family memorial will be held at a later date.
