LaLoni Marie (Leisey) Bryan, 78, of St. Inigoes, MD passed away peacefully at her residence with her family by her side on June 20, 2025.
Born in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, she was the loving daughter of the late Alvin L. Leisey, Jr., and Mary Helen (nee: Abbott) Leisey.
LaLoni attended Dover High School and graduated from Fairhaven High School in Fairhaven, Massachusetts class of 1964. After graduation, she attended Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, PA and transferred to Framingham School of Nursing, Framingham, Massachusetts. She completed her Nursing Degree at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu Hawaii, where LaLoni was Class President class of 1970.
LaLoni started a new adventure when she met Clark on a neighbor's porch while they were chauffeuring a church group on their caroling rounds, Christmas Eve 1963. This new adventure took them and their three daughters to Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Nevada before landing them in Maryland.
LaLoni played volleyball, softball and basketball in high school and college. Her interests included coaching youth softball and basketball, and Girl Scouts (Loni was involved Girl Scouting for most of her life, she even convinced Clark to be a Girl Scout and Cookie Mother). Loni volunteered tutoring at local elementary school, cake decorating and managing the family Blueberry Patch but most of all she loved joining in the activities and interests of the grandkids and great grandkids.
LaLoni is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Clark E. Bryan whom she married in Fairhaven, Massachusetts on March 30, 1968; her daughters, Amy Ridgell (Ralph) of Saint Inigoes, Abby Trossbach (Tom) of Dameron and Allison Bryan of Burbank California; Grand Kids, Theresa Trossbach (Justin) of Dameron, Hollie Ridgell (Dan) of Park Hall, Katie Ridgell (Jim) of Saint Inigoes, Jodie Butler (Heath) of Prague, OK, JC Trossbach (Ashley) of Lexington Park, Mary Trossbach (Ethan) of Dameron; Great-Grand Kids, Hayden, Thomas, Drew, Raelynn, Tillie, Billie Ann, Hudson, Lottie, and two more due in August. She is also survived by her siblings, Randy (Beverly) of Cody, WY, Mary Ellen of Frederick, MD, Ronald (Cynthia) Glendale, AZ, Kim (Kathy) Lewes, DE, and numerous Nieces and Nephews.
