Mary was born on September 15, 1957, in Fairbury, Nebraska, to Lawrence and Mildred Zach. She was the oldest of seven children and grew up surrounded by family, creating memories and relationships that remained an important part of her life.
Music was one of Mary's greatest joys and gifts. She was a vocalist throughout her school-aged years and continued singing into adulthood. Her love of music was evident not only through her beautiful voice, but also through her ability to play both the piano and accordion. Music brought her joy and was a special part of the life she shared with those around her.
Mary will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Jimmy Dale Bryant; her daughter, Angela Haley and husband Bill; her sons, Richard Bryant and Lawrence Bryant; as well as her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her much love and happiness.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence and Mildred Zach, along with other family members who went before her. Mary leaves behind a legacy of love, family, friends, and cherished memories. Her voice may now be silent, but the love she shared and the memories she created will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and all who knew her. Rest peacefully, Mary. Your voice will live in the hearts of those who loved you.
