Alice Marie Bryant

Alice Garner Bryant, born on August 21, 1950, in Guilford County, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at the age of 75 on November 3, 2025, at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro.

Alice was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, whose love for her family was evident in every aspect of her life. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Annie Foust Strickland, and her brothers, James Strickland Jr. and Tommy Strickland.

Alice spent her entire career working as a waitress, where she enjoyed meeting and talking to people from all walks of life. Her warm and friendly nature made her a beloved figure both in her professional life and in her community.

Outside of work, Alice's passions included gardening, cooking, canning, and fishing. She took immense joy in preparing meals for her family and preserving the bounty of her garden. Family gatherings were a highlight of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with those she loved.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years, John Bryant; her children Bobby Bradds and wife Carrie of Climax, Primela Compton of Climax, and Mary Ann Compton of Climax; and her stepchildren Jennifer Moser and husband Michael of Liberty, Mellissa Taylor and husband Robert of Liberty, and Tamitha VanPelt and husband Chuck of Saxapahaw. Alice also leaves behind her siblings, Brenda Berry of Montana, Shelby Marsh of Florida, Steve Strickland of Georgia, Tommy Strickland and wife Nicole of Asheboro, and James Strickland and wife Susie of Randleman.

Her legacy continues through her grandchildren Dustin, Cassie, Jennifer, Ethan, Brooklyn, Malena, Jarrett, Megan, Wes, Allen, and Rosalind, as well as her great-grandchildren Hutson, Finley, Henry, Sophia, Jaxxon, Jasper, Lailah, Knovi, Daniel, Nathan, and Camden, as well as a host of nieces and nephews.

The family will hold services of remembrance at a later date to celebrate Alice's life and honor her memory.

Alice's indomitable spirit and boundless love will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her kindness and generosity left a lasting imprint on the hearts of many, and her memory will be cherished forever.
