Bryna was a beloved member of the Stuart community for over 55 years, where she and her husband, Jay, raised their two sons. Originally from Newton, Massachusetts, Bryna relocated to Stuart with her husband and two toddlers in 1966. She became very involved with the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, where she volunteered and served as president. She was a passionate animal lover and dog mom to a number of lucky Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and one Border Collie. In addition to her work with the Humane Society, Bryna served for 15 years on the advisory committee for Palm City Elementary.
Bryna never met a stranger. She truly loved people and was genuinely interested in the lives and stories of everyone she met. It is no wonder that she leaves behind so many friends who will miss her deeply.
Bryna is survived by her sons, Eric and Mark Potsdam, a son-in-law, Colin Swenson, and Jay Potsdam, her husband of 60 years. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, or an animal rescue of your choice.
