Nancy was a lifetime member of the Girls Scouts USA and spent many years as a troop leader, cookie coordinator and a neighborhood chairperson. She served many roles as a member of the Pfc. Paul E.

She was a longtime volunteer for Abuse Counseling and Treatment Center, along with the ART’s for ACT auction for over 25 years. Her favorite pastimes were crocheting, sewing, scrapbooking and spending time at the beach.

She enjoyed going out with her lady friends who called themselves the M&M’s, as well as attending and watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s activities. She was a fierce and loyal woman, who taught integrity, acceptance and fairness. She was preceded in death by her husband, George “Bill” Bryant; brother, Clarence Youngs and sister, Jean Kindig.
