Johanna Kintner Bryant

After a short illness, Johanna Kintner Bryant died on December 9, 2021, at age seventy. Her family is as follows: husband, Larry Bryant and step grandson, Steve Bryant of Knoxville; sister, Beccie Kintner King of Friendsville; brother, Richard Kintner of Maryville; sister, Ella Kintner Brown, Van Wert of Ohio; her biological half-sisters, Vicky Morris and Sandra Myers, both of Michigan.

Johanna loved being an aunt; in fact, one nephew commented that she was the aunt who didn’t act like an aunt. Her beautiful voice was part of the Maryville Junior High and Maryville High School choirs, and when her father bought her a clarinet in third grade, she took it on the family vacation and taught herself to play it. She held first chair in her school bands for eight years.
If you ever visited her home, you would immediately see that she was a talented artist in advanced quilting techniques and wood crafting, and her hand-painted objects are exceptional. In her driveway is a camping trailer that she pulled to many different locations to spend time with her close camping friends.

She graduated from Maryville High School, class of 1969 and attended UT. Professionally, she worked as a surgery technician and later managed a low-income apartment complex. Stray and rescue dogs often found a home with Johanna, or at least a trip to the vet, if needed.

A private burial is planned.
