Bryanna Mae Reynolds, a radiant soul whose spirit illuminated the lives of all fortunate enough to know her, departed this world on Oct. 15, 2025, in Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township. Born Nov. 30, 2008, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Bryanna exhibited a remarkable zest for life that belied the health challenges she faced. She lived an amazing life, unwavering in her determination to embrace each day with joy and resilience.
She touched the hearts of many with her infectious laughter and radiant smile, a light that will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of being in her presence. A devoted friend to all, Bryanna could make anyone smile and laugh, cultivating warmth and camaraderie wherever she ventured. Among her cherished possessions was her beloved green goblin doll, whom she affectionately referred to as her best friend. Bryanna found joy in crafting imaginative drawings that featured her whimsical companion, a testament to her creative spirit and boundless imagination.
An engaging student, Bryanna attended Commonwealth Charter Academy in Harrisburg, where she not only pursued her education but also nurtured her love of music and singing. Her childhood was filled with joy as she reveled in watching "Spidey and his Amazing Friends," sharing in the adventures of her superhero companions, and always bringing a touch of imagination into everyday life.
Bryanna's unparalleled spirit will forever echo in the hearts of her surviving family and friends. She is lovingly remembered by her mother, Bettyjo Tague of Hanover Township; her father, Alfred Lee Reynolds Jr. of Indiana; her sisters, Brooklyn Hayes and Gracin Reynolds, both of Indiana; her maternal grandmother, Mary Lou Blaton, and her companion, Herb Wooton, of Warrior Run; her paternal grandmother, Donna Ritchie, of Indiana; her aunts, Patricia Appleby and her companion, Aboud Toussaint, of Wilkes-Barre; Joyce Reynolds-Bottos and her husband, Miguel, of Indiana; Susan Reynolds of Indiana; and D.J. Reynolds of Indiana. In addition, she leaves behind numerous cousins and special family friends, including Stacie Scroggins Mason and her husband, Gary, of Indiana; as well as special siblings, Bryce Scroggins and his fiancée, Shelby Cole, of Indiana; and Arianna Scroggins, of Indiana.
Her legacy is tinged with the bittersweet loss of those who awaited her in eternal peace, her paternal grandfather, Alfred Lee Reynolds Sr.; her maternal grandfather, Kenneth Blaton; and Nurse Kathy Scroggins, affectionately known as Nana.
As we reflect on the life of Bryanna Mae Reynolds, we remember a young girl whose heart was boundless and whose dreams soared high. In our sorrow, let us also celebrate the moments and memories we have shared, for she remains forever etched in our hearts — a beacon of laughter, creativity and unyielding spirit.
A visitation in honor of Bryanna will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, followed by a funeral service commencing at 1 p.m., both at Jendrzejewski Funeral Home, 21 N Meade St, Wilkes-Barre. Condolences may be shared on the funeral home website, www.JendrzejewskiFuneralHome.com.

Betty Jo, So sorry to learn of Bryannah's passing. She was such a sweet girl that I'm fortunate enough to have worked with for several years. Bryannah put in her very best efforts to complete her work and have some fun too! May she rest in eternal peace.
