Donna Mae Carol Bryant, 90, was called to heaven to join her beloved husband Ralph, on Friday, April 10, 2026 with her family by her side.
Donna was born on October 2, 1935, daughter of Max and Anna (Bothe) Lohrman in Marshfield, WI. She spent most of her childhood farming with her parents and siblings in the Marshfield and Auburndale area and attended Auburndale High School. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Ralph Bryant on August 6, 1955 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Hewitt, WI. They settled down in the Marshfield area and raised a family together.
Donna was a loving stay at home mom in her four children’s young years. She later worked at Figi’s Gifts and Wis. Pre-pack Cheese Co. where she made many lifelong friends. She also enjoyed working at the Holiday Inn, Marshfield and Arpin Dairy. She was always known to make others feel welcome with her friendly spirit and smile. She was always kind, thoughtful, and generous.
Through the years she kept her four children close and always celebrated their accomplishments and was proud of who they became. She was always caring and loving in good and hard times. She was blessed with six grandchildren whom she adored and loved deeply as they grew. Five adorable great-granddaughters came along to enrich her life even more. They were the young loves that kept her proud and smiling.
Donna is lovingly survived by her four children, Randall (Sharon) Bryant, Linda (Joseph) Scholzen, David (Laurie) Bryant, and Sandra Bryant. She will be greatly missed by her six grandchildren, Jeff (Melissa Vitort) Bryant, Mark (Krista) Bryant, Jeremy (Heather) Kops, Alyssa Scholzen, Melanie (Larry) Stuttgen and Jacob (Haley) Bryant; and her sweet great-granddaughters, Savana, Evelyn, Sydney, Sorrel, Aubrey and future baby Stuttgen.
She is also survived by her sister Diane Wilson and brother Darrel Lohrman; and brother-in-law Donald Jacoby. She is further survived by sister-in-law Alma (Ray) Benzschawel and brother-in-law Gerald (Barb) Bryant and many nieces and nephews.
Donna is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ralph; a precious grandson; her sister Lois Jacoby; sister Valeria and Donald, Mike, Kristine and Cheryl Boushon. Also in-laws James and Rae Joanne Bryant, Darlene Ulrich and Beverly Kortner and nephews Steven Bryant and Tom Jacoby.
