HOWLAND -- The family of Kelly Bryant sadly announce her passing at home, Wednesday, May 31, 2023, surrounded by her family and friends, after a short illness.
An obituary is usually dry and stuffy, but her adventures in life were very much opposite the norm. Kelly lived life to the fullest and on her own terms. There was never any doubt of who was in charge.
She was born May 10, 1965, in Warren to her mother, Margaret Zigmont Maggiano.
Kelly was a 1983 graduate of Warren G. Harding High School.
She was currently employed as a dispatcher and supervisor at the Trumbull County 911 Center, where she had been employed since November 1995. Kelly was the first voice you heard if you ever had an emergency. Her job meant being able to keep focus amid the chaos and uncertainty.
Kelly and her husband, Shawn, were very active for many years with the Relay For Life in Niles. Both of their mothers were cancer victims and this cause was dear to both of them.
Her outside interest and passion was animal rescue. She fostered many animals but failed to give any of them back (i.e. foster failure). She also supported the TNR Organization of Warren for its spay-and-neuter program.
As active as Kelly was, her family was the most important part of her life. Yearly trips to Disney, Ohio State and Clemson games, and family vacations brought her much happiness.
She leaves behind one daughter, Kristin (Justin) Koper of Warren; a granddaughter, Emma, at home; a brother, Richard (Pam) Maggiano of Kinsman; her aunt, Tina Propri; her brother-in-law and wife, Drew and Tina Bryant; nieces, Hannah and Rachel; and her close friend, Jen Lingo. The family would like to thank Doug and Karli Datish for their support during this time.
Besides her mother, Kelly is predeceased by her first husband, Raleigh Hughes III, and her second husband, Shawn L. Bryant.
Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Monday, June 5, 2023, at Lane Funeral Homes, Roberts-Clark Chapel, 180 Garfield Drive, Warren. Calling hours will be 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday, June 4, 2023, and also 10 to 11 a.m. Monday at the funeral home, prior to the service.
Material contributions may take the form of donations to TNR of Warren.
