It is with great sadness that the family of Elizabeth "Elle" Bryant announces her unexpected passing on July 23, 2025. She was born April 12, 1987, to parents Albert "Chip" and LeeAnn Bryant. It was well known that Elle was a force to be reckoned with. Any room that she entered was filled with such love, joy, and laughter. She made it her purpose to uplift everyone and anyone she could, no matter what she was carrying herself. Elle has inspired us all with her exponential growth, continued perseverance, and determination. Her recent accomplishments included starting her own business, Momma Elle's Home Cleaning, becoming a board member for the Portsmouth Youth Football Organization, becoming treasurer for the B3 Youth Basketball Association, and returning to school at Great Bay Community College with a major in Business Management. While attending Great Bay, she has excelled as an Honor Roll student with a near 4.0 GPA. Above all the struggles she has endured, past and present, she still managed to become a support system for her family, friends, and the community. All while staying true to herself…unapologetically. Elle was happiest at the ocean. Her cooking was unmatched. She could out-cheer anyone at a football or basketball game and out-curse any sailor. Her laugh was absolutely infectious. Most importantly, her purpose, her light, and everything she worked for are her four boys. It is no surprise we lost her to a big heart. Elle leaves a legacy of love and is survived by her four sons; Isaiah, Andre, Dimante, and Asantae; two daughters, Sanaa and JaLeah; her father, Albert "Chip" Bryant; her mother, LeeAnn Bryant; Albert's wife Debra Bryant; her brother, Danny Bryant; her sister's, Sarah "Pookie" Mills with her husband Shawn Mills, and Erin O'Neil with her husband Todd O'Neil; her nephews, Jayceon, Xander, and Aiyden; her niece, Solei; her fiancé of 10 years, Jacob "Jaycee" Wilkerson; her best friend and G4L of 30 years, Beckie Gilman; and her beloved pup, Dippy Doo. Donations can be made to the GoFundMe below to help care for her four boys: https://gofund.me/91453d16. Care for the Bryant Family has been entrusted to the JS Pelkey & Son Funeral Home
