Donna Marie Bryant, of Dyer, Tennessee, passed peacefully at home after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Her strength, grace, and unwavering faith remained evident until her final moments.
Donna loved the Lord with all her heart and lived her life as a reflection of that devotion. She cherished her family deeply, especially the joy of being called “Nana” by her grandchildren. She also treasured her church family at Poplar Grove Baptist Church, where she found fellowship, purpose, and lifelong friendships. Her faithful companion, her puppy dog Riley, was always by her side and brought her comfort and joy.
Donna is survived by her daughters, Christy (Michael) Allen of Humboldt and Jaime (Blake) White of Jackson; her grandchildren, Karen (Patrick) Dudley of Trenton, Savannah Allen of Humboldt, and Noah White of Jackson; and her cousin, Richard Miller of Trenton. Each of them carries forward her legacy of love, faith, and quiet strength.
She is preceded in death by her father, Harris Perry; her mother, Christine Hoover; her stepfather, Byron Hoover; her brother, James Perry; and her loving husband of 47 years, Rickey Bryant. The thought of their reunion in Heaven brings comfort to those who mourn her here.
Donna lived her life anchored in faith, and the words of 2 Timothy 4:7 reflect the spirit with which she faced every season of her journey: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
Her kindness, devotion, and gentle strength will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her.
