Publish in a newspaper

Courtney Ann (Cissell) Branon, 35, of Collinsville, Illinois, passed away on November 18, 2025. She was born on August 8, 1990, in Raywick, Kentucky.

Courtney's journey led her from the peaceful hills of Kentucky to the heart of Illinois, where she built a life grounded in compassion, strength, and meaningful connection. She found her calling in Kidney Care, where her warm presence, genuine kindness, and radiant spirit touched countless lives. Those who knew her will forever remember her ability to make others feel seen, supported, and valued.

Courtney is survived by her two children, son Colton (8yrs) and daughter Caitie (21), along with her father Scott Cissell. She was preceded in death by her mother Kathy Cissell. Her love for her family, her unwavering dedication, and her gentle heart leaves a lasting legacy of warmth and grace.

A Celebration of Life will be held in her honor on November 23, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Collinsville American Legion, Oak Room

(1022 Vandalia St., Collinsville, Illinois).

In lieu of gifts, donations may be made in support of her children, contributing to their continued care and future.

The family is being served by HERR Funeral Home, 501 West Main Street, Collinsville, Illinois 62234.
