Brandee was very family-oriented and loved spending time with her grandchildren and family.  She would host family dinner; cooking enough for an army; and always making the family favorites, green bean casserole, and lime jello salad. Brandee had a unique sense of style and was always seen wearing mix-matched socks.  She enjoyed watching scary movies and was a “gadget junkie”.
