Brandy enjoyed going on any adventure that had a beautiful drive/scenery, playing the penny and nickel machines at the casinos with Andy, working on her flower beds outside, watching her indoor plants thrive, watching her old western movies cuddled up under a soft blanket with her cat and mostly she enjoyed family BBQs. She also had a love for Native American art and jewelry. Spending time with her family was one of her favorite things to do and something that she taught her children to always cherish. Every year she looked forward to the warmer weather and getaways with those she loved. Being able to be present in the lives of her great grand children who called her Gigi, and her great grandnieces was such a blessing to her. Watching school concerts, sporting events, or just watching them live their best little lives splashing around in water; she cherished every moment with them. Brandy was loved by all who met her. She had the biggest heart and always did her best to make everyone feel that they had a place to go. She was a great friend to many and will be missed by all. She loved whole heartedly, never was afraid to stand up for what she believed in and always was there when you needed her. Brandy is proceeded in death by her parents, Sam and M June. Her Brothers Tony and Geronimo and Sister Lisa. Brandy is survived by her 4 children: Daniel (Lisa) Chaparro, Ricardo (Rhonda) Reyes, Dina (Greg) Smith, and Neal Ambriz.
