Sandy Lea Bryant, age 73, was born on August 25, 1953, in Sidney, Ohio, and passed away on February 18, 2026, with her family by her side, in Port Orange, Florida.
Sandy is survived by her sons, Bo Bryant of South Daytona, Florida, and Paxton (Sandra) Bryant of Port Orange, Florida; her grandchildren, Halie Bryant, Isabel Bryant, and Gavin Bryant; and her brother, Steve Garrison. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Ashley Bryant, and her spouse, Joe M. Bryant Jr., both of South Daytona, Florida.
Born to Charles Andrew Garrison and Alma Louise Cotterman, Sandy graduated from high school in 1971. She carried a deep love for her family, a quiet resilience, and a strength that guided her through life.
