Bryant, Pierrette (Philippon)

Pierrette (Philippon) Bryant, 92, passed away peacefully on April 14, 2024 with her loving family by her side. Perry was born in Jackman, ME moving to CT in a Model A rumble seat at the age of 12. One day while riding her bike in Mayberry Village, a neighbor in a sailor uniform caught her eye and she said “I'm going to marry that man” – which she did, resulting in their 7 children. Perry was the youngest of 9 (predeceased by her 8 siblings).

Perry resided in East Hartford, CT most of her life and graduated from East Hartford High School. After raising her children, she entered the workforce and retired from Traveler's Insurance Co. in 2005.

Perry's passion was her family. She was affectionately known as Mom, Grandma, Granny, Nana and G-MA. She was an excellent cook; best known for her banana cream pie. Her strength and generosity were unmatched. She touched the hearts of everyone she met. She will lovingly be remembered and missed by all.

Perry is survived by her children: Patti Bryant, Sue (John) Mcnamara, Gary Bryant, Joann Lukas, Glenn and Greg Bryant. She was predeceased by her oldest daughter, Bonnie Armentrout in 2011. She is also survived by her 13 grandchildren: Dan, Kimberly, Dawn, Tim, Brian, Kevin, Heather, Mark, Jeffrey, Dena, Emily, Sean, and Michael. She also leaves 15 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Pansy Homecare of West Hartford, especially her care giver, Shelia.
