Susan K. Bryan, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, greeted her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Oct. 4, 2024.
A memorial service will be Oct. 12 at Silver Creek Baptist Church in Azle, with cremation to follow. Susan was born Nov. 11, 1945, on Veterans Day, in Binger, Oklahoma to Jerry Dewey Thompson and Willie Mae Hudspeth.
Susan grew up in Fort Worth, went to public schools and graduated in 1964 from Carter River Side High School in Fort Worth, where she met Donald Cecil, a retail grocery manager. They married and produced two wonderful children, Jimmy Cecil and Julie Cecil. Susan and Don divorced, and in 1996, Susan met and married Joseph Bryan while both worked at the United States Post Office. Susan and Joe loved traveling, moreover, sea cruising.
Joe and Susan were faithful members of Silver Creek Baptist Church in Azle, where Susan was incredibly selfless and generous with her time and always eager to give back to the community. She was an active member of her church for many years as a volunteer for local nursing and assisted living homes. A gifted pianist and music teacher, Susan also loved to read, and she instilled the love of books in her children and friends.
She is survived by her husband, Joseph L. Bryan; stepson Joseph L. Bryan Jr.; grandson, Asher Bryan; daughter, Julie Cecil; grandchildren, Julian Cecil, Madison and Katlyn Cecil. The family would like to offer special thanks to Silver Creek Baptist Church and Azle Masonic Lodge, as well as many friends who offered love and support in Susan's untimely passing.
