Brandie Marie Allen

Born on December 10, 1973, Brandie was the daughter of James and Debra Anderson, and the granddaughter of Joyce (Gitchell) Hilles of Flint, Michigan.

She was the webbing that held our family together, the thread that connected us all and even in her absence, that bond remains stronger than ever. She had a heart that radiated warmth, compassion, and creativity. Through her crafts, she poured love into every stitch and every detail. Each handmade piece carried a story, a memory, and a piece of her heart. Those lucky enough to receive one now hold not just a keepsake, but a part of her, a reminder of how deeply she loved and how thoughtfully she cared for everyone around her.

She is survived by her loving Husband of 22, almost 23 years, Jason Allen; beloved children, son Steven (fiancé Melissa) White, and daughter Samantha (Cody) Lane-Allen; cherished fur babies, Miss Midget and Remington “Remy” Allen; sister, Kelly Anderson; mother-in-law, Becky (Mel) Allen; brother, Cory (Jessica) Allen; nephews, A.J. Turner and Dominic Allen; and grandsons, Jaxon and Theo White, all of Flint, MI. She also leaves behind many cousins and extended family members who loved her unconditionally.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Debra Anderson; father, James Anderson; grandmother, Joyce (Gitchell) Hilles and Gladys Anderson; cousin “Bobby” or “Boogie” (Robert) Martinez; and has been reunited with her beyond-spoiled and deeply loved fur babies, Dominic (Dom), Chaos (KK), and Ozzy.

If she loved you, she made sure you and the world knew it. She always showed up, always gave her whole heart, and always loved deeply, no matter the circumstances. Her presence brought laughter, comfort, and light to every room she entered. Her absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but her love will continue to live on in every person, memory, and handmade treasure she left behind.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date by her immediate family.
