Edith Jean Bryant

Edith Jean Bryant (Hose), 94, went home to be with Jesus to play for the Angelic choir on September 23, 2019. Mom was born in Tarentum, PA on November 24, 1924. She graduated from East High School in 1942 and married the love of her life, Howard Bryant, for 57 years. They both wanted children and were blest with a son in 1948 and a daughter in 1953. Mom holds many fond memories of her home they called "Camelot." Many stories have been shared over the years. Mom served many years in the church playing the piano, organ, leading the choir, teaching Sunday school, and being a wife and mother too. Close friendships were special that added boundless joy.

She leaves her son, Dana (Betty) Bryant; daughter, Diana (James) Werbecki; grandchildren, Bethanne Werbecki, Erick (Lynn) Werbecki; and great-grandchildren, Karleigh and Gage. We thank everyone for their love and care, especially Hospice of Summa Care.
