McCarthy, Brianna Nicole "Bri"

Brianna Nicole McCarthy, age 14, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on December 7, 2023. Brianna was born October 26, 2009, in New Bern, NC to Allyson and Kevin McCarthy. Upon Kevin's release from the Marine Corps, the family returned to Dayton, Ohio. Brianna was a bright light to her family and friends. She loved life, and was always a very happy child. She was a good student at Belmont Middle School, and was participating in the school's ROTC program, and enjoyed marching with her ROTC brother Lucas. Brianna always enjoyed her trips to the Mall and Barnes and Nobel, where her Grandparents would treat her to books and a special coffee. However, her favorite time was with her close friends, like all teens.
