Alease Bryant
Alease “Anne” Bryant, 78, passed away Feb. 27, 2021, in the care of hospice, after a life well lived.

She was born in Hopewell, Va., September 9, 1942, to Joseph and Alease Benyi. Anne grew up and went to school in Phoenix, Ariz., before moving to Oregon and attending nursing school. She worked as a registered nurse in the Intensive Care Unit for many years before switching to medical transcription the last 10 years of her career. She lived in Virginia, Arizona, Oregon and Texas before retiring in Sun City Center, Fla., with her husband, Ed Bryant, who spoiled her in her remaining years.

One of two children, Anne is survived by her brother, Eric Benyi and his wife Janie of Jacksonville, Fla.; a son, Daniel Graves of Homestead, Fla.; a daughter, Meg Allocco of Springfield, Ore.; as well as her loving husband, Ed Bryant of Sun City Center. She had two grandchildren, Michelle Guarino of Tampa and Joel Graves of Eugene, Ore.; cousins Ann Bristol and Judy Fletcher also survive her. As a result of her marriage to Ed Bryant, she was blessed with his eight children as well.

Anne loved traveling, first by sailboat in her younger years and then by RV where she and Ed spent a couple years living in their RV, traveling across the country. She loved going on cruises, taking road trips to visit relatives, sightseeing and playing cards with her friends. Her adventurous spirit, sense of humor and love will be greatly missed.
