Brandy was All-In! She was an all-in mom who made sure she was always at her girl's volleyball matches, dance recitals and school functions. She also cooked her family healthy and fresh meals every night and then packed their lunches for the next day. She was an all-in owner and operator of her dental practice, also serving as the President of the Spokane Dental Assoc. and traveling internationally with Hearts in Motion (a charitable dentistry outreach program). She was an all-in adventurer, who loved creating lifelong memories with her husband and limitless love of life with him.

Brandy's beautiful smile exemplified her bubbly, bright, warm and quirky personality. She loved to help others and had an unreal and unending work ethic. She was an avid reader who enjoyed a good read at home, at the Pend Oreille River cabin or while soaking in the sun on one of her many adventures around the world. She enjoyed gatherings, book club, bunko and treasured the countless long walks and immeasurable miles with her dogs and quiet solitude. Brandy loved her family and that included the many dogs and animals that she gave her heart to over the years.
