Brandy was a lifelong resident from “southside” of Racine; she graduated from J.I. Case High School in 2000.

Brandy’s upbringing was rooted in the Lord; she was spiritually profound and a member of Holy Cathedral Church of God in Christ.

She was a lover of art, music, cooking, family, and friends. She will be remembered for the vast number of people that she touched with love and kindness. Always, giving to others what she would not give to herself. She had an innate way of brightening everyone’s day and bringing out gut rolling laughter.

She is survived by her life friend, Hope Wesley, her parents Cornelius, and Mary (nee Robinson) Carter Sr., her brother Cornelius Carter Jr, her grandparents Willie and Katherine Carter, uncle Derrick (Betty) Carter, aunts Alizza (Brian) Rogers, and Nicole Martin.

Along with cousins: Nanda, Darvontae, Christopher (Quenca), Derrius, Shaquea, Atlantis, Manijah, and Joshua. Baby cousins: Braylon, Cairo, and Taraji. God-sister: Cassandra Coates, best friend Clavonna Wray, and honorary nieces and nephews: Amari, Amya, and Victor. And a host of family, friends, and a city that loved her.

She is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents: Joe and Lorine (Garth) and Uncles James Martin and Willie Roy Carter Jr.

Per Brandy’s wishes a private service will be held.
