We will miss Argie immensely, and everyday.

Argie would sit outside in her Eggchair in the backyard of her house, for hours, while listening to Bebe and CeCe Winans, Mahalia Jackson, ACAPELLA, Stevie Wonder, MAZE featuring Frankie Beverly, USHER, and SADE. She also enjoyed running in Marathons for Charity, watching Bridal Dress shows, Say YES to the Dress, Cooking Delicious dinners, decorating her house for Christmas, and spending time with all her Bay Bay Chops (Children). She had so much fun playing at the "Good Willy," (Goodwill) with her Daughter, and Evergreen Neighbors. It was a simple break from the toll of weekly dialysis...(Donuts Yuck!) Argie especially liked Stevie Wonder, "Isn't She Lovely!" She had an opportunity to see him LIVE in concert at the Van Andel Arena in 2024. Argie leaves to cherish three Children. Daughter Steffani Renee Hines (Chris) and Christopher Hines, Jr., Son Stephen Bryant, Jr. (Mary),  Son Shawn Duane Bryant. She also leaves behind her Grand-Children, Symphanie S. Bolds, Joslynne B.
