Brandyi Barnett Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Herndon-Fuqua Funeral Home - Hope on Feb. 23, 2026.
Wife, Mother, Nonna, Daughter, Sister, and Friend.

Brandyi is preceded in death by her mother, Emma Sutilia; her grandmother, Carolyn Linderman; and her grandfather, Mack Tobais.

Brandyi is survived by her husband, Dennis Barnett of Jonesboro; children Trystan and Celeste Burns of Buckner, Kamrynn Knighton of Foreman, Hillary Coleman, Tommy Barnett, and Sarah Kane of Jonesboro; and eight grandchildren: Josiah Pearson, Austin and Lakynn Collins, Izzy, Luke, Brayleigh Coleman, Kaiden Davis, and Genesis Kane. She is also survived by her father, Richie Allen Sr.; two brothers, Preston (Rhonda) Allen and Richie (Susan) Allen of Texas; and numerous other family members and friends.

Brandyi's time here on earth was not near long enough. During her life, she faced many trials and tribulations. She found the Lord when she hit rock bottom and chased Him ever since. There is no doubt that she is in Heaven, rejoicing with her Savior.

Brandyi spent her time celebrating her sobriety, guiding others in their sober living, spending time with her grandchildren-who meant the absolute world to her-and crafting. She loved giving handmade gifts and probably spent half of her life in Hobby Lobby, and well over half of Dennis's money there too!

Oh, and her Dennis-man, did she love him. And boy, did he love her. They were a match made in Heaven. You'd think Cupid had flying arrows in that little restaurant the day they met, but it was just flying rolls and a simple hello.

While her time here on earth has come to an end, her eternal life has begun. There is no doubt that when our time comes, we won't see her again until then. Until that day, we love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, because you mean the whole world to me.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM at Herndon- Fuqua Funeral Home, Hope.
