Margot "Terry" Bryant

Margot was born in Duisburg , Germany on August 17, 1925. She met, fell in love with and married Bill, an American soldier, following World War II. She moved to America with him in 1948 and dedicated her life to being a wife, homemaker and mother while Bill continued military service. They had two sons, the second born while Dad was deployed to fight in Korea. She kept the home alone again eight years later when Dad was deployed to Greenland for a year's service in the arctic circle.

They were in the middle of building a house in Monongehela, Pennsylvania, the area where Dad had been stationed for years, when he was ordered to be transferred overseas. This prompted his retirement from the Army and Dad got a civilian job. While living there, they joined the Bunola Church of the Nazarene and became active members.

They realized their dream of moving to Orlando, Florida in 1969 where they lived near longtime friends and were active in their church. Mom transferred her lifelong love of accordian playing to teach the church's youth Ukulele band.

Dad was paralyzed as the result of an accident in 1972 and Mom added the role of nurse, devotedly caring for him for the next 15 years. She loved, supported and was active in her church, Apopka Calvary Church of the Nazarene, serving as a greeter there for years. She loved her cats and living on the family farm near Zellwood. She enjoyed overseeing the citrus grove, nursery and planting everything imaginable around her home. She was an avid reader, especially of the Bible and romance novels. She also loved knitting and crochetting and taught her grandkids how to make doilies.

Terry is survived by her sons William A Jr and his wife Silvia and Karl Michael and his wife Linda, her 6 grandchildren, Noelle Walzak and her husband Mike, Melissa Watson and her husband Danny, Heather Trinh and her husband Vinh, William Bryant IV and his wife Danielle, Michael Bryant and his wife Danella and Christopher Bryant and his wife Sanaz, and her 8 great-grandchildren, Christian and Grace Walzak, Lily and William Bryant V, Ethan, Henry and Leah Trinh and Victoria Watson.

Mom loved God and loved and lived for her family. Affectionally known as Oma by all her grandchildren, Mom will be greatly missed and her memory cherished by her family and friends.

Funeral service will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at the Apopka Calvary Church of the Nazarene, 750 Roger Williams Rd, Apopka. An Interment service will follow for family at Glen Haven Memorial Park.
