Audrey Ann Bryant

With heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of Audrey Ann Bryant, affectionately known as Ann, on January 30, 2025. Born in Morrilton, AR, on September 13, 1956, Ann spent her years radiating compassion and love, touching the lives of everyone she met. Ann lived her life by the words of Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you say, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Ann embodied this sentiment through her actions, her care, and her unwavering dedication to those around her.

Ann, a retired Certified Nursing Assistant, dedicated her life to the care and well-being of others. Her thoughtful nature extended beyond her professional life into every aspect of her personal life. An avid craftswoman, gardener, and fishing enthusiast, Ann found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Her weekends were often spent exploring flea markets, bringing home unique treasures that caught her eye. Ann's love for helping others was truly boundless, her big heart always ready to lend a helping hand.
