Margene (Fry) Bryant, 82, of Brownfield passed away Monday evening, December 27, 2010, at Bender Terrace Care Center in Lubbock, Texas, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Margene Fry Bryant was born January 7, 1928, in Lubbock, Texas, to Floyd and Lorena Fry. She graduated from Lubbock High School in 1946 and from Texas Tech University in 1949 with degrees in English and Journalism. She taught public schools for 23 years in the Whitharrel, Levelland, and Brownfield school districts, retiring in 1988. In retirement, she wrote short stories and poems for Highland and other Christian publications. She had a love for Christian missions local and around the world and shared her faith with all she encountered.

They lived in the Whitharrel, Levelland, and Brownfield communities where they raised five children and were actively involved in the following churches: Fifth Street and College Avenue Baptist Churches in Levelland and Sage Terrace Missionary Baptist and First Baptist Church in Brownfield. Margene taught Sunday school, loved singing in the church choir, and led in Baptist mission training and work. She loved her association with the Baptist Women Missionary Association, Meals on Wheels, and the Brownfield Community Literacy Program.
