The queen mother, our dear, sweet Mama, Mary Cullen Bryan, went home to be with our Lord on Tuesday September 6th, 2022 at 2:53am Eastern. She departed to her next grand adventure, exactly how she would have wanted, slipping away quietly with twinkle lights in her room and her “life’s playlist” on the stereo. She spent her final days surrounded by family, the house bustling with laughter, storytelling, and performances of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals – and joy, pure joy. Mary is a gift to us all and has been the best wife and mother anyone could have ever hoped and prayed for. We already miss her and feel her departure so deeply in our lives. We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support over the past few weeks, and we hope to celebrate Mary’s life and legacy with you in person. As she would say, “The adventure continues…”
