Brandi Mari Watkins, 49, of Hepzibah, West Virginia, passed away on March 19, 2026.
Born October 12, 1976, Brandi lived a life rooted in love, especially for her family and the animals she cherished so deeply. She cared for them all with a gentle and loyal heart.
She is reunited in peace with her mother, Brenda Lynn Watkins; her aunt, Cheryl McDonald; her sister-in-law, Carol King; and her grandparents, Dennis Neal and Ethel McDonald, and Paul and Mary Jo Watkins.
Brandi leaves behind her father, David Watkins, and stepmother, Donna Watkins; her brother, Scott Watkins, his daughters Libby and Elektra Watkins, and his fiancé Bridget Beck, along with her daughter Brooke Beck; her sister Erin (Jeramie) Sailor; and her cousin Hiliary Heldreth, along with Hiliary’s children, Chase, Blaine, and Kenadie Duckworth; her stepbrother, Tyler Russell, Sarah Russell, and their daughter Jenna; her aunts Julia (Hugh) Tryoer, and Linda (Steve) Maloney; and many cousins and loved ones who will carry her memory forward.
Brandi’s life reminds us that love doesn’t have to be loud to be real-it can be found in quiet moments, in loyalty, and in the care we give to others.
She will be deeply missed.
