Toni Delores Bryan

Toni Delores Bryan, 61, left her earthly body early on the morning of May 22nd, 2022, to ascend to her eternal paradise while surrounded by the love and comfort of her friends and family.

She will be welcomed to her heavenly home by her parents, Thomas and Ruth, her sister, Teri, and her grandson, Ethan, after what we assume will be a long journey filled with Mcdonald's sweet tea stops and multiple bathroom breaks.

Left behind to mourn the loss of Toni are her two sons, Billy (Audrey) and Brandon (Amy), grandchildren, Katie, Anna, Jason, Jamie, Presley, and Bowie, and great-grandchildren Abel and McKinlee, her brothers, Tommy (Sherri), Timmy (Micki), Tracy (Donna), and Travis (Chrissy), and her best friends Trish, Teresa, and Nephew Matt.

She is also survived by a small army of other nieces and nephews that she treated as if they were her own children, as well as a huge world of friends.  To know Toni was to love her and she made sure she knew everyone.  Last but not least, she also left behind her beloved cockatiel, Bubba, who has not stopped singing to her for the last 24 years.

Toni was a lover of live music, dancing and attending many concerts, most recently, Willie Nelson who was on her bucket list!  She loved going to the movies and eating out at her favorite restaurants.

Her giving soul and motherly nature extended far and wide.  In 2019, she bravely and spontaneously went on stage and raised nearly $700 by shaving her head for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which funds research to find cures for childhood cancer.  So, in that way, she even gave to children she had never met.

In that spirit, her family would be honored if donations were made in her memory to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/winstonsalem2022.

The viewing will be held on Wednesday, May 25th from 6-8pm at Davidson Funeral Home on Hickory Tree Rd.

Toni was devout in her faith in Christ and her funeral service will be held on Thursday, May 26th at 11am where she worshiped, Our Father’s House Ministries on Rink Rd. Pastor Jeff Dowell will be officiating, followed by a processional and committal service at Westlawn Gardens of Memory on Ridgecrest Rd.
