Carol Ann Bryant

Carol Ann Bryant, 83, passed away on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, IN. She was born April 16, 1938, in Fort Wayne, IN, the daughter of the late Fred and Mae Waikel.

Carol graduated from North Side High School in 1957. She worked at Royal Lace Company for 20 years. Carol never met a stranger and was always ready to help, even if it took away from herself. Over the years, with every new baby, an abundance of love for every single one was overwhelming. Her passion was her family, and she would always light up, when she was with them. Carol definitely had no filter. She was feisty, but always accepting of people. She was everyone’s grandma—it didn’t matter who it was—they called her Grandma. Carol is survived by her children, Tina (Jimmy Herron) Bryant, Tony (Jennifer) Bryant, Tammy (Todd Lahman) Masters, all of Fort Wayne, IN; step-daughter, Kimberly Dennis; 8 grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard Bryant, in 2000; and 4 brothers.

A funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, March 24, 2022, at D.O. McComb and Sons Lakeside Park Funeral Home, 1140 Lake Ave. Fort Wayne, IN, with visitation one hour prior. Visitation will also be from 2-4 and 6-8 pm on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, at the funeral home. Burial in Lindenwood Cemetery.
