Brancy Ruben Revard, age 67, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee surrounded by her family. She was born on October 2, 1958, in Allen, Alabama, to the late William Ruben Sr. and Clide Robinson Ruben.
Brancy was a strong and remarkable woman who touched every life she encountered. Witty, funny, caring, and loving were just a few of the words her family used to describe her. She didn’t play games and believed in tough love—but always from a place of deep compassion. Brancy was the matriarch for her family, keeping everyone grounded and connected through her strength, humor, and heart.
A woman of deep faith, Brancy lived her life with grace and devotion. She was a faithful believer who found comfort and strength in her relationship with God. Her kindness and steadfast spirit were an inspiration to all who knew her.
Brancy was also an amazing cook whose meals brought people together and filled her home with warmth and laughter. When she wasn’t cooking or spending time with her loved ones, she could often be found cheering on her beloved Alabama Crimson Tide—a true and loyal fan through and through.
Hardworking and full of life, Brancy loved spending time outdoors, especially when she was fishing—one of her favorite pastimes. Her greatest joy, however, came from her family. She was deeply devoted to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life and her proudest accomplishment.
Brancy is survived by her loving husband, Gerald Revard; her children, Juanselyn (Steve, Jr.) Gray, Robert Revard, Jeremy Revard, Colton Revard, and Lee Revard; and her sisters, Helen (Hill) Fields, Carolyn Scott, and Eunice Wright. She is also cherished by 20 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchildren, and 2 more on the way.
She is reunited in Heaven with her beloved parents, William Ruben Sr. and Clide Robinson Ruben; her siblings, Patricia Pride and William Ruben Jr.; and her son, Christopher Revard.
The family will receive friends on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home in Columbia, Tennessee. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Williams Funeral Home, with her beloved son-in-law Pastor Steve Gray, Jr. officiating.
Brancy’s legacy of love, laughter, faith, and strength will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
