Mrs. Bryan graduated from Pensacola High School in 1951 as a member of the National Honor Society. She then went on to pursue her education through the Modern Business Academy and Florida Insurance School. She was licensed to sell various forms of insurance in Florida and rose to the position of Vice President in Charge of Operations for the insurance company she worked for in Florida. In 1953, Mrs. Bryan married the love of her life, Charley Bryan, the son of William Thomas & Alice Everage Bryan. One of her proudest achievements was simply being a fantastic wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She truly cherished her loved ones more than all the treasures on Earth.

The Bryans eventually moved back to her family's hometown of Glenwood, Alabama and set about making a good life there. Mrs. Bryan stayed active in her community. She served as both the secretary and treasurer of Glenwood Assembly of God for many years while she was a faithful member there. She also served as a member of their Board of Directors during her time there. She was honored by her beloved community in 2016 as their Miss Festival at the Well. She truly exemplified the spirit of Christ through her love and generosity towards her fellow man, as well as loving her Lord with all of her heart. Though she will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved her will miss her dearly, but they will find comfort in knowing she lived a full and happy life and leaves them with a lifetime of treasured memories.

Bryan; her parents, James & Jeannette Prestwood Sellers; grandparents, James Austin & Rosa Jeannette Prestwood; and siblings, James Tony Rogers & Teri Rogers.
