Greenfield- Carol Ann Bryant, 79, of Lincoln Street passed at her home surrounded by family and friends Wednesday (1-11-17) at 12:25 am.  Just think, Carol was not here by chance, but by God's choosing. His hands formed her and made her the person she was. He compared her to no one else as she was one of a kind. She lacked nothing that his grace could not give her. He allowed her to be on this earth at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation and those to come. He called Carol home once this purpose was filled.

She was born in Brattleboro, Vermont July 28, 1937, the daughter of Ralph and Irene Scopa. Carol spent her life serving and taking care of others.  Carol married Raymond F.
