Bebe was a member of Abiding Life Assembly of God Church in Whitney, Texas where she was always found on the front row every Sunday and Wednesday. She was a devoted Christian and dedicated to The Lord and Jesus Christ.
Bebe attended Southwest Texas State University where she met her husband, Jimmy Leyendecker. Sadly, they were only married a short time before he was killed in a plane crash during a military exercise. She was pregnant with her daughter Nora at the time.
She then moved to Whitney, Texas where she met and married Pastor Curtis Brandon and together, they relocated to Nacogdoches for many years.
Her life-long friend, Nell Molidor was a long time friend in both Nacogdoches and Whitney
Bebe was a very giving and lovable person. She saw good in everyone around her. She will be missed terribly but never forgotten. She is now at peace with The Lord, where she was ready to go.
