Victoria Lynn Bryant

She was born in Lynchburg on June 10, 1946, daughter of the late, John T. Bryant and the late Elsie W. Bryant. She was also preceded in death by a brother, John Edward Bryant.

Vickie retired after dedicating over three decades of her life as a charge aid at the esteemed Central Virginia Training Center. Throughout her illustrious career, she had become a beacon of compassion and care, leaving an indelible mark on the lives she touched. However, retirement did not dampen her zest for life; instead, continued her passion for arts and crafts, an avenue where her creative spirit could flourish unrestrained. With nimble hands and a heart brimming with inspiration, she reveled in the process of bringing her artistic visions to life.

Beyond the realms of creativity, Vickie discovered solace and excitement in the world of shopping, where she eagerly immersed herself in the vast array of options that surrounded her. Exploring the nooks and crannies of stores, she delighted in unearthing hidden treasures and finding the perfect pieces to enrich her life and those around her. The act of perusing the options became a source of fulfillment, as she relished the thrill of possibilities and the joy of discovering something unique.

However, amidst her ventures in the tangible world, it was Vickie's unwavering faith and unbreakable bond with her Lord and savior that formed the bedrock of her existence. In the depths of her heart, a sacred flame burned brightly, illuminating her path with strength and purpose. Her relationship with Him was a source of comfort, guidance, and unyielding devotion, empowering her to face life's challenges with grace and resilience.

Ever devoted to the ones she held dear, Vickie's love extended far beyond her immediate family. Her warm and nurturing spirit embraced all who crossed her path, radiating kindness and compassion to friends, neighbors, and acquaintances alike. Her presence was a comforting refuge, a source of solace and support for those in need. To Vickie, love was not merely a sentiment, but a verb she embraced wholeheartedly.

While Vickie's heart overflowed with love and dedication, she also sought solace and tranquility amidst the rhythmic symphony of the ocean waves. The beach, with its vast expanse and timeless beauty, captivated her soul. It became a sanctuary where she could unwind, breathe in the salty air, and let her cares drift away. And in the midst of her beachside sojourns, Vickie held a delightful secret longing—to catch a glimpse of the enchanting mermaids that she believed danced beneath the surface. With childlike wonder and an unwavering hope, she combed the shoreline, her eyes scanning the horizon, convinced that one day, her persistence would be rewarded, and the elusive mermaids would reveal themselves, bringing a touch of magic to her seaside adventures.

Vickie's story, marked by resilience, creativity, faith, and an unwavering belief in the extraordinary, serves as an inspiration to all who encounter it. Her unwavering dedication to her craft, her unwavering faith in her Lord and savior, and her unwavering love for her family and the simple pleasures of life stand as a testament to the remarkable depth.

Left to cherish her memory are her four daughters, Toni Wright and husband Brian, Kimberly Sherburne and husband David, Sherry Miller and husband J.W. and Misty Witt and husband Marty; a son, Cortez Jackson; two brothers, Tony Bryant and wife Janet and Alfred Huff and wife Pamela; a sister, Debbie Bock and husband Rick; seven grandchildren, Cody Wright and wife Carentxa, Crystal Matthews and husband John, Sara Garcia-Molina and husband Ricardo, Alexis Anielski and husband Alex, Jonathan Wilgus, Kalab Miller, and Cassie Witt.
