Mrs. Dianne Brandon

Dianne was born in Maury City, Tennessee, where her story began. After graduating, she moved to Toledo, Ohio, where she built her life, raised her family, and dedicated herself to serving others. In the summer of 1992, she returned to Tennessee, where she continued to surround herself with family, friends, and her faith. For many years, Dianne worked as a medical transcriptionist and later retired after a rewarding career in healthcare. She took pride in helping others and approached her work with dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Those who knew Dianne will remember her gentle and quiet spirit. She had a remarkable ability to listen with little judgment, offering comfort, wisdom, and encouragement, simply by being present. She never sought attention but made a lasting impact through her kindness, patience, and genuine care for others. Dianne found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved bargain shopping, watching her favorite television stories, faithfully participating in worship, and, most of all, spending precious time with her family and friends. Whether sharing laughter or enjoying a heartfelt conversation, she treasured the relationships that meant the most to her. She was preceded in death by her parents J.T. Edwards and Cressie Smith, her husband Timothy Brandon Jr. and his eldest son Timothy Brandon III, and her brothers Jimmy Edwards and Jerry Edwards. Above all, Dianne was a loving and devoted mother. She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved children: Shelley Coleman (Micheal), Jamil Shabazz (Andrea) Abdul Aziz Shabazz, Latrece Noble (Jay), and Justin Brandon (Shonda). She was also the proud grandmother of fourteen grandchildren and was blessed with a host of great-grandchildren, each of whom brought immeasurable joy to her life. She is also lovingly remembered by her surviving siblings, Juanita, Maurice, and Tim, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, dear friends, and all whose lives were touched by her warmth and generosity. Although Dianne's physical presence is no longer with us, the love she shared, the lessons she taught, and the example she set will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her legacy of faith, quiet strength, compassion, and unwavering love for her family will continue to inspire future generations. We will forever cherish the memories she gave us and find comfort in knowing that her love will remain with us always.
