Karen Bryant Obituary

Karen S. Bryant

9/16/1957 - 1/27/2025

Karen Bryant died suddenly at home Monday, January 27. Karen S. Bryant, formerly Karen Bak, graduated from Bowsher High school and continued her education to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Karen Worked at The Toledo Hospital postpartum unit for many years, then continued her career working with moms and babies through the Midwife Clinic at Toledo Hospital. Karen retired from the ProMedica Physicians Adult Medicine Group in 2020.

Karen was always a lover of animals throughout her life. Karen especially loved dogs, including her own dogs, Cecil, Duncan, and Millie. They provided loving companionship and comfort for her. She spent weeks on her Uncle Chet's farm during the summers for many years, riding horses, feeding the animals, and cuddling new litters of barn kittens. She owned her own horse when she first became a nurse, and loved to ride.

Karen had a wonderfully innocent sense of humor and loved to laugh with family and friends. Her greatest joy was seeing her kids happy, being a mom, and spending time with her kids and grandkids. Babysitting her newest grandchild was the highlight of her week in recent days.

Karen was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Bryant; and her parents, Arnold and Mary Rose Dartt. She is survived by her children, Andrew (Lexie) Bak and Jenna Bak; grandchildren, Heaven and Amelia; brother, Jeff (Rita); and sister, Diane (Michael); as well as nephews and niece, Matthew, Brendan, Shannon, and Aidan; and best friends, Debbie and Teri.
