Mildred Ann Vann Bryant was born to Woodrow Vann and Keturah Maria Tsikuris in Monticello, Florida, on January 19, 1942. Mildred, lovingly known as Millie, age 83, of Dade City, Florida, passed away October 25, 2025, surrounded by family.

Millie took great pride in caring for her family—her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—who were the center of her world. She never met a stranger, and her home was always open to anyone in need of a warm meal or a kind word. Gathering around her dinner table became a cherished family tradition that brought everyone together.

Millie was a selfless, devoted Christian who loved the Lord and lived her faith every day through kindness, generosity, and service to others. She was a member of Temple Baptist Church. Her deep belief in God guided her life and gave her strength, especially through times of hardship and loss.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 61 years, Larry Stanley Bryant. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised six children: Wanda (Don) Roberts, Larry Stanley Bryant Jr. (Cindy), Judy Ann (Charlie) Walker, Glinda Bryant, George (Laura) Bryant, and Mark (Lori) Bryant.

Millie is also survived by her many grandchildren—Donnie, Nikki, Johnny, Dustin, Marlan, Wyatt, Aaralyn, Aiden, Jesse Clay, Katy Jo, Cory, Ary, Aaron, Benjamin, Gatlin, Nicole, Melinda, Michael, Gabe, Marisa, Malachi, Tiffany, Laurel, Jessica, Robert, and Bobby—and a host of great-grandchildren who will carry on her legacy of love and faith. Millie is also survived by her siblings- Virginia, Woody Jr., Lindel, Jackie, Rochelle, Debbie and Kathy. Several of whom she helped to raise in her younger years.

Millie was truly the heart of her family—a woman whose compassion, faith, and strength touched all who knew her. She will be remembered for her warm smile, her giving spirit, and her unwavering devotion to God and her loved ones.

Funeral service for Millie will take place on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at Temple Baptist Church in Dade City, Florida. There will be a time of gathering prior to service from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Millie will be laid to rest at Mt. Zion Cemetery following services.
