Layla Bryan

Layla Bryan, age 44, passed away November 15th, 2025. Layla was born February 8th,1981 to Kelly Ann Franco and the late, Bobby Leroy Lambert. 

She is survived by her three children, Micheal, Leyanna, and Kailee; siblings, Tuesdey Santiago, and Jeremy Lambert; and many other family members who will miss her dearly. 

Layla's favorite color was a deep rich emerald green, but she would never wear it because it didn't match her hair. Layla cared about making people smile. To bring a smile to someone's face for a fleeting moment was what she desired most day to day. She loved back yard BBQ's and gatherings where she could celebrate with friends and most importantly family; and if you were lucky, she made her delicious italian pasta or perogies. 

Family was the root of her existence. There was no greater force than family. Layla didn’t get to stay with us long enough to prove to us genuine love and traditions. She will be loved and missed every day for what she has shown us…… be kind, be generous, and love. 

At 44 years Layla was known most for her love for the medical field as she spent years being an EMT helping save lives in high stress situations. After the towers fell on 9/11 Layla went to search for survivors in the rubble in the biggest tragedy our country has ever seen. She will be missed dearly for those who have had a chance to know her and the lives she saved on those emergency calls.

You may pay respects to Layla during her Celebration of Life on November 20, 2025, from 2PM-4PM at Larosa’s banquet room, 966 E Main Street, Jackson, OH 45640. Online condolences may be sent to www.lewisgillum.com.
