Alice Faye Bryant

With heavy hearts, the family of Mrs. Alice Faye Lewis Bryant, 79, shares her passing due to an extended illness during the early afternoon of Friday, September 12, 2025, at her residence in Mullins, surrounded by her family.

Born on September 7, 1946, in Mullins, South Carolina, Alice Faye was the daughter of the late John H. Lewis and the late Lannie Henderson Lewis. She was a loving, caring wife, mother, grandmother, and sister who cherished her family dearly, always putting them above herself. From preparing meals to imparting life lessons and morals, Alice Faye ensured her family was well cared for. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren knew her love and will miss her deeply.

Mrs. Bryant worked in Housekeeping at MUSC Marion Medical Center until her health became a concern. In her later years, her family took care of her, just as she had always done for them. She enjoyed watching television, especially her favorite show, Gunsmoke, and was devoted to her Lord and her Bible, being of the Baptist faith.

Lewis of Mullins.

She was predeceased by a brother, Boyd Lee “Buddy” Lewis (Josephine), a sister, Eloise Alford, and a step-grandson, Christopher Bryant.
