Jeanne Bryant died on April 6, 2003, after an extended illness.

She was born in Columbus Ohio of a New England Family. She came to Seattle during World War II to be part of the home front at the Boeing Company.

She met and married James (Art) Bryant in 1957. She was mother to three children, Kathleen, Twyla, and Steven. The family moved to Dockton in 1966.

She was active in the Vashon Schools, a Vashon volunteer firefighter at the Dockton station and a supporter of Vashon Island Pet Protectors.

Her interests were genealogy, native culture and their crafts, and animals and birds.

She became a silversmith and weaver in the Navajo style. She was a member of the Navajo Club, assisting those relocated from the reservation when they were being educated in the USA.

She was foster mother to Marshallese youth, especially two who came and lived with the family in Dockton and attended Vashon High School.

At her request, her ashes will be interred in her family cemetery in Portsmouth, N.H.

She would be pleased to have friends assist Vashon Island Pet Protectors on her behalf. Vashon Island Pet Protectors, P.O. Box 245 Vashon, Wash. 98070
