LOUISVILLE, KY., Monicka Quinnette Bryant, 60, of Louisville passed away on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at the Baptist Hospital East in Louisville, KY. She was born November 21, 1962 at Owensboro Daviess County Hospital in Owensboro, KY. She came out kicking and screaming and did that all of her life. Quinnette graduated from Owensboro High School in 1980 and was a member of Zion Missionary Baptist Church. She attended college at Bresia University and moved on to Indiana University (IU) in Bloomington, IN, where she eventually graduated in the field of nursing. She worked tirelessly as private duty nanny for many years and received so much fulfillment from helping to raise so many children. Monicka (Quinnette), as we all called her, was a loving soul. She loved to sing, dance, and was always down for a good time. Crocheting and knitting was her favorite hobby. She was really good at it. She loved to cook, try out new recipes and loved Jamaican food. Quinnette loved traveling and lived in various states. Even though Quinnette never had kids of her own, she took loving care of each one of her nieces and nephews as if they were her own. She was known as, “Aunt Bunny” to all the children around her. Quinnette loved and was loved deeply by her family. Even though her years on this earth were cut short, Quinnette always believed in living each day as if it was her last day. She always moved to the beat of her own drum and never had any regrets. She is at peace and we all know this is not a goodbye, but a “see you later” sis.
