Pauline R Bryant

Ms. Pauline Riley Bryant was born February 6, 1954, in Columbia, South Carolina. She is the daughter of the late Naaman Bryant, Sr. from Beech Island, South Carolina and Ethel Mae Bryant from St. Matthews, South Carolina. She graduated from Dreher High School and continued her education at a technical college where she was certified as a Nursing Assistant. Pauline begin her career at Crafts-Farrow State Hospital and furthered her occupation at various hospitals and mental institutions. She later left her profession to support her family.

She was a devoted sister to nine siblings, all who deeply loved her. Some finally have the opportunity to see their sister in heaven while the others celebrate her life after death here with us today. 

Pauline was a strong, genuine black woman who loved to sing opera, dance and play recreational card games with her family and friends. All of her love ones can reminisce on a time where Pauline sat on her chair in the kitchen next to her oval table and window offering wisdom, comfort and advice to keep her family resilient and peacefully collected. Although, she left behind a very dysfunctional family, she loved them ever so proudly. Her golden heart allowed her to treasure her children and embraced every moment of their creation, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was one of few women who did not fear the words from her tongue to keep her family in line. “Get out!” was two words that she used often but it was symbolic to moving beyond the person in the mirror; meaning God wants your discipline to should match your destiny. Unfortunately, Pauline’s destination has come to an end but live on through the blood of her children and her children’s children.

Pauline is survived by her four children, Andrea L. Bryant, Calvin R. Bryant, Sr., Kimyatta T. Bryant and LaVar K. Bryant all from Columbia, South Carolina. Her loving memories rest on the hearts of her 15 grandchildren, Xavier Bryant, Keyatta Bryant, Takis Smith, Jaris Bryant, LaVar Bryant, Jr., Edrice Ganaway, Calvin Bryant, Jr. the late Marquise Smith, Terrica Bryant, Socolain Bryant, Diamond Bryant, Malachi Bryant, Matthew Bryant, Tamaih Brown, Terrence Brown, Jr. and 24 great-grandchildren.

Pauline wanted her family and love ones to always remember...“it’s a beautiful night!”
