Christine Marie Bryan

In Loving Memory of Christine Marie Bryan, Vet Tech, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and lifelong caregiver.

December 17, 1953 – August 22, 2025

Christine Marie Bryan, better known to her loved ones as "Christy", "Mom", or "Nana", passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025, surrounded by all those who loved her most.

Born in Forrest City, Arkansas, to proud parents, John and Glenda Henley, Christy lived a life defined by compassion, resilience, and unconditional love. Her career as a veterinary technician was more than just a job- it was a calling. She nurtured animals with the same tenderness she gave her family, always the first to offer comfort, healing, and a warm smile.

Christy was a proud mother of four children: Lori, James, Jamie, and Jason. Her legacy lives on through her 14 grandchildren: Matthew, Riley, Madison, Hailey, Torrance, Darryl, Jaxon, Landon, Alexis, Diana, Brayden, Kaden, Bella, and Gavin; and two great-grandchildren, Ezekiel and Estella.

Her home has always been a safe haven of laughter, storytelling, and the kind of warmth and love that leaves a permanent mark on the soul.

Christy was preceded by in death by her parents, John and Glenda Henley; her siblings, Butch and Karen; her son, Jamie; and her beloved grandchildren, Madison and Torrance. Though their absence was deeply felt, she carried their memory with grace and strength, honoring them in the way she lived and loved.

Christy was known for her generous spirit, her quiet strength, and her ability to make everyone feel seen, heard, and loved. Whether she was tending to a wounded animal, offering sound advice to a grandchild, or laughing hysterically in disbelief at one of our dirty jokes, her presence was a treasure to all those around her.

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Bradley Bryan; her children; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; sister, Kathy; and countless others whose lives she undoubtedly enriched. Her memory will live on with every act of kindness and every shared sentimental story we have in our hearts.

A memorial service will be held at Trahan Family Funeral Home of Milton, 6539 Trammel Drive, Milton, FL, on Thursday, August 28, 2025. Visitation will begin at 2:30 p.m. with funeral immediately following at 3:30 p.m.
