In 1918 Bonnie Beach married Russell C. Ryan, a San Francisco surgeon; they were divorced two years later. Ryan continued her art career and was a member of Women Painters West, while also remaining involved in Los Angeles society circles where she often participated in fundraising events for the Red Cross and other aid organizations.
