Mildred was a Florence native, graduating from Wilson High School Class of 1956. In 1957, she moved to New York City and for several years was employed by “Play Tape” as a Receptionist. Upon moving back home Mildred was gainfully employed with Florence School District 4 as a Teacher’s Assistant. She retired in 2000, after 15 years of dedicated service.

At an early age, Mildred accepted “Jesus Christ” as her Savior and was baptized at Trinity Baptist Church in Florence, South Carolina, where she attended Sunday School and Baptist Training Union. Mildred was a faithful and dedicated member of Savannah Grove Baptist Church in Effingham, South Carolina, under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Ralph W. Canty, Sr. She worked with the Church School Department, founded the Cradle Roll and served as Overseer for a number of years. For several years, she volunteered in the Church Office assisting the Church Administer with a variety of duties. She also operated the Church Book Store and attended the Wednesday Noon Bible Study Group.

In November 1956, she married Adam Bryant Jr. They were married for over 50 years and from that union there were two children: Tyrone (who died at birth) & Adam, III who was the apple of her eye and a blessing from God.
Mildred was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Adam, Jr., her brother, Otis Lucas and her son, Tyrone Bryant.

Mildred leaves to cherish her memories: a son, Adam, III of Thomson, Georgia; two grandchildren; Adam, IV, and Olivia; three bonus children, Anthony (Tanya) Bryant of New Brunswick, New Jersey, Belinda Bryant Mills of Atlanta, Georgia, and Allen (Lisa) Bryant of Plainfield, New Jersey; four bonus grandchildren, Tiara Bryant, Kira Mills, Kyla Mills, and Allen Bryant, Jr,; two sisters, Mary Williams and Ida M.
