The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, 6 September 2017
BRYANT, Sally Ann, of Denver, passed away at home, surrounded by family, on Wednesday, August 30, 2017 after a brief illness. She was 89.
She was born Sally Ann Schminke, on September 27, 1928, in Nebraska City, Neb., and grew up in Tucson, Ariz. She received a BS in Geology and an MS in Paleontology from the University of Arizona, and did geologic mapping around Holbrook, Ariz.
She married Donald Bryant - also a geologist - in 1952, and over the next six decades they worked and travelled together, raising a family along the way. They were among the first US Citizens to visit Red China, on a 1982 People-To-People trip with other geologists.
She was a past volunteer and fundraiser for the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Botanic Gardens, and a long-time member of Welcome To Colorado.
She will be remembered for the easy grace and competence she brought to everything she did, as well as a deep and abiding kindness toward other people. And she will be forever missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, and a daughter, Elizabeth.
She is survived by a daughter, Ellen; two sons, Stephen and Edward (Vicki) and two grandchildren.
In accordance with her wishes, there will be no service; memorial donations may be made to Planned Parenthood.

She was also preceded in death by her parents Kenneth P. and Anna K. Schminke both born in Nebraska and brother Col. William L. Schminke
