Mrs. Barbara Jean (Harris) Bryant, 85, was called home by our Heavenly Father on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024.
Barbara was born on May 9, 1038, in Harriman, Tennessee, and graduated from Harriman High School. Barbara married the love of her life on Dec. 13, 1958, and three years later they welcomed their firstborn, Renee, and then six years later welcomed their twins, Rebecca and Regina. Barbara worked in banking for many years but her most important and rewarding accomplishment was her being a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and homemaker. Barbara enjoyed reading, cross stitch, gardening, candle-wicking, playing dominoes, and playing games on her iPad. Barbara was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Barbara spent over 40 years researching family genealogy and loved the challenge it presented at times.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Curtis Elmore Harris and Virginia Margaret Powers Harris; and 4 sisters.
She is survived by her loving Husband of 65 years, James “Jim” Edward Bryant; daughters, Rene Bryant-Huffman (Glenn), Rebecca Bryant, Regina Bryant; grandchildren, Whitney Pope, Aimee French, Megan Heckmann, Evan Schievelbein (Callie), and Andi Schievelbein; great-grandchildren, Abagail Williams, Isabella French, Chance Schievelbein, Tatum Schievelbein, Tripp Schievelbein, Ty Schievelbein, and Nolan Pope; sister, Crystal Burnham; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.
