Sherry Lee Bryant, age 63, of Marion, Indiana, passed away at her home on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 8:27 pm.

Born on August 13, 1962, in Wabash, Indiana, Sherry was the daughter of Willard and Nellie (Penix) Bolsover. She graduated from Wabash High School and later worked in Assembly at Dexter Axle, where she was known for her dedication and strong work ethic.

Sherry had a creative spirit and a deep love for the arts. She enjoyed drawing, writing, and crafting--always finding joy in making something beautiful. She was also a devoted fan of Days of Our Lives, rarely missing an episode. Above all, Sherry cherished time spent with her grandchildren, who brought immense happiness to her life.

She is survived by her children: Brittanie Stapleton (Kevin Smith) of Marion, Richard "Buddy" Hawkins of Gas City, and Ryan Stapleton of Marion; her step-father who raised her as his own, Tom Berry; her brothers: Sam Bolsover of Marion and Tommy Berry (Kristi) of Chesterton; grandchildren: Hayden Hawkins, Haylee Buchanan, Christian Shrock, Noah Preston, Kaysn Preston, and Leland Smith; great-grandchildren: Quinlee Buchanan and Quaylyn Buchanan; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Sherry was preceded in death by her parents, Willard Bolsover and Nellie Faye Berry; her husband, Tony Bryant; her sister, Bobbi Jean Bolsover; and her step-daughter, Ashley Shrock.

The family will receive visitors from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral & Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.

Immediately following the time of visitation, a service to celebrate Sherry's life will begin at 3:00 pm.
