Myrl "Lynn" Bryant

Myrl Lynn Bryant, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away at her home in Carthage, MS, on August 30, 2026, at the age of 75. Born on June 3, 1951, in Vardaman, MS, Lynn will be remembered for her warmth, creativity, and unwavering spirit. She graduated from Vardaman High School in 1969 and later obtained an Associate's Degree before embarking on her career.

Lynn dedicated many years of her life to Bell South Telephone Co. as a collections agent before retiring. She also retired from the Mississippi Military Department, where she served as an administrative assistant. She was a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Brandon, MS, where she found joy and community. Lynn's love for reading, traveling, and engaging in arts and crafts enriched the lives of those around her, as did her vibrant personality and infectious laughter.

On December 26, 1970, Lynn married the love of her life, Michael Don Bryant. Together, they raised three sons: Jerry Lee (Clara) Bryant of Big Springs, TX, John Paul (Stephanie) Bryant of Carthage, MS, and Michael Edward (Rachel) Bryant of Elgin, OK. Lynn's legacy continues through her grandchildren, Damion (Katy) Bryant, Sam Bryant, Maggie (Nick) Wright, David (Monte) Bryant, Taylor Bryant, Katelynn Bryant, Kara Leigh Bryant, and Leighanna Bryant, as well as her five cherished great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Jo Ann Dye of Calhoun City, MS, and her brother, Leroy Delbert (Vonne) Edwards of Carrollton, MS.

A visitation will take place from 10:30 AM until 11:00 AM at the Parker Memorial Funeral Home Chapel in Vardaman, MS. Following the visitation, a memorial service in honor of Lynn Bryant will be held on Friday, September 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM with her sons, Bro. Michael Bryant and Bro. John Paul Bryant officiating.

As we remember Lynn's life, we find comfort in the words of Proverbs 3:5 (KJV): "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."

Lynn was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Vola Edwards and one sister, Janice Robles.
