Margie Nell Bryan

Obituary Date: Saturday, February 20, 2016

Mrs. Margie Nell Bryan, age 77, of Dahlonega passed away Saturday, February 20, 2016 at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center following her battle with pancreatic cancer.

Margie was born in White County on July 13, 1938 to parents Oscar Alonzo and Myrtle Hunt Whitlock. She graduated from White County High School in 1957 having attained the second highest G.P.A. in her class. She made many friends while working at Don’s Foodland and when her first granddaughter started school, Margie went to work in the Lumpkin County Elementary School lunchroom just so she could be close to her. Fifteen years later, she greeted her second granddaughter on her first day of school. She loved her work family and continued working there for nineteen years before retiring at the age of 75. Margie was a member of Friendship Baptist Church. She loved God and was the backbone of her family. She always closed her testimony by saying she was glad she was on the winning side. Her main interest was spending time with her family and always cherished the time she spent at the beach.

In addition to her parents, Margie was preceded in death by siblings, Dot (Loy) Priest and Tom Whitlock. She is survived by her husband of fifty-six years, Raymond Bryan, daughters; Teresa Bryan Boulware and Valarie Bryan (Michael) Grizzle, grandchildren; Abbie Sherrill and Megan Grizzle, great-grandchild; Brayden Sherrill, all of Dahlonega. She is also survived by sisters; Henrietta Abernathy of Helen, GA, Betty Berry, Rosa Brackett and Pat (Bud) Foster, brothers; Jerry (Verlene) Whitlock, Charles ( Becky) Whitlock and Phillip (Libby) Whitlock, all of Cleveland, GA, Albert (Sally) Whitlock of Jefferson, GA and Ricky (Ann) Whitlock of Gainesville, GA. A number of nieces, nephews and other relatives also survive.

Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. Monday, February 22, 2016 in the chapel of Dahlonega Funeral Home with Rev. Lyman Caldwell and Rev. Kris Butler officiating. Interment will follow in Dahlonega Memorial Park. The family will receive friends Sunday, February 21st from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
