She enjoyed reading, baking, arts and crafts, listening to music, helping others, and spending time with her family and friends.

Bryant, and Mackenzie Ann Bryant. Her love, wisdom, laughter, and strength will live on through each of them, and the memories they shared with her will be treasured for generations to come. She will be missed deeply by them, as well as by the many friends and loved ones whose lives she touched throughout the years.
