Mary Page Bryans, 90, of Newborn, GA passed away on October 8, 2021.  She was born August 3, 1931 to Walter Page & Mary Leila McAdams in Brownwood Community in Morgan County.

She graduated from Rutledge High School in 1947, and attended Berry College with plans to study hematology. These plans were interrupted when her mother became seriously ill, and Page left school to take care of her.  In 1951 she was married to Edward Bryans, and moved with him to his home on Broughton Road, where he worked as a dairyman.  They had 4 children: Melanie Gail Bryans Welch, Warren Grady Bryans, John Edward Bryans, Jr., and Mary Page Bryans.  She attended Shiloh Baptist Church.

Page was active in local community activities, and besides raising 4 children, spent much of her time feeding dairy calves, and helping with the family’s dairy.  Page was also the local beautician, running her self-started business from “The Beauty Shop” that she had built in front of her home. (Page herself was known for her beautiful silver hair.)  She loved her family, her home, and the dairy, and she enjoyed cooking delicious recipes, and also growing gorgeous flowers.

Page is survived by a daughter and two sons:  Melanie Gail Welch (Jack), Warren Grady Bryans (Vickie), and John Edward Bryans, Jr..  She is also survived by her brother John McAdams, and sisters Anita Johnston & Carolyn Johnston.
