Donna Mae Bryant

Donna Mae Carol Bryant, 90, was called to heaven to join her beloved

husband Ralph, on Friday, April 10, 2026, with her family by her side.

Donna was born on October 2, 1935, daughter of Max and Anna (Bothe)

Lohrman in Marshfield, WI. She spent most of her childhood farming with

her parents and siblings in the Marshfield and Auburndale area. She was

united in marriage to the love of her life, Ralph Bryant on August 6, 1955, at

Immanuel Lutheran Church in Hewitt, WI. They settled down in the

Marshfield area and raised a family together.

Donna was a loving stay at home mom in her four children’s young years.

She later worked at Figi’s Gifts and Wis. Pre-pack Cheese Co. where she

made many lifelong friends. She also enjoyed working at the Holiday Inn,

Marshfield and Arpin Dairy. She loved gardening and growing flowers in her

yard. She told stories often about her special uncles, sisters and brother

and the good old days. She was always known to make others feel

welcome with her friendly spirit and smile. She was always kind, thoughtful,

and generous. Donna and Ralph enjoyed going out to eat and visiting

relatives together. She also looked forward to meeting friends for coffee.

She loved listening and singing along to Country Music and was thrilled to

visit Dollywood in Tennessee.

Through the years she kept her four children close and always celebrated

their accomplishments and was proud of who they became. She was

always caring and loving in good and hard times. She loved calling them

and hearing about their day. She was blessed with six grandchildren whom

she adored and loved deeply as they grew. Grandma was always their best

friend and guided them with love when they needed it. Five adorable

great-granddaughters came along to enrich her life even more. They were

the young loves that kept her proud and smiling. She loved spending time

with them whether it was playing cards or coloring together. Of course, her

warm hugs were always part of spending time with her.

Donna is lovingly survived by her four children, Randall (Sharon) Bryant,

Linda (Joseph) Scholzen, David (Laurie) Bryant, and Sandra Bryant.

She will be greatly missed by her six grandchildren, Jeff (Melissa Vitort)

Bryant, Mark (Krista) Bryant, Jeremy (Heather) Kops, Alyssa Scholzen,

Melanie (Larry) Stuttgen and Jacob (Haley) Bryant; and special

great-granddaughters, Savana, Evelyn, Sydney, Sorrel, Aubrey and

future baby Stuttgen.

She is survived by her sister, Diane Wilson; and brother, Darrel Lohrman,

whom she enjoyed visiting with often; and brother-in-law, Donald Jacoby.

She is further survived by sister-in-law, Alma (Ray) Benzschawel; and

brother-in-law, Gerald (Barb) Bryant; and many nieces and nephews.

Donna is preceded in death by her parents, Max and Anna Lohrman; her

husband, Ralph; a precious grandson; her sister, Lois Jacoby; sister,

Valeria; and Donald, Mike, Kristine and Cheryl Boushon. Also in-laws,

James and Rae Joanne Bryant, Darlene Ulrich and Beverly Kortner; and

Nephews, Steven Bryant and Tom Jacoby.

Donna Mae was a beautiful and loving Wife, Mom, Grandma and

Great-Grandma to our family and we will miss her dearly. Love you to the

moon and back!
