Emily Brandt Obituary

Ruth was my best friends mother (Kay) , which made her be like my second mom. She was a confidante, & if you only knew my childhood this would go without saying, as she understood me, and too often where my tears came from. She was always there for me when no one else was. Words fail to describe my heart and my feelings about the little mom who had a neverending smile and warm feeling about her. I have been trying to find an indian prayer that gives those who will miss her consolation in knowing that her breath is now the wind that surrounds us, and the warmth of the sun will be there to replace the smile she always had for everyone, and even though I can't remember all of it, I hope you know in my heart just how much she and everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her will truly miss her, but we can gain solace in knowing that she will ever be at our side, to light and guard and rule and guide, as she is now our Guardian Angel from up above. Love, Patty (Pat Smith Johnson) God Bless all of the Brandt's family. (Funny that one of my fondest memories are with Kay watching her mom do her hair before she would go to work for the government.)

I appreciate being asked to lead Ruth's funeral service. I could tell right away that she was loved and that she must have been a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Thank you.

Mrs. Brandt was a patient of Nicolitz Eye Consultants for many years and we all will miss her greatly! We loved to see her come in the office with her ever present smile and kindness. We wish her family well and we are praying for you all.

Ruth was my first-cousin and my memories of her go back to the time when she was a child. She and her husband Joe, along with her two sisters Grace and Sarah, started the annual family reunion. It was something that many of the family members looked forward to. Ruth and Joe were a couple devoted to each other and their five children. I, who like everyone who had the privilege to know her, will miss her.

I have been fortunate to share many wonderful family gatherings with Ruth and Joe and have witnessed the importance of that family in her life. Ruth was a lovely and gentle person who charmed all she met. My heart goes out to all of her family who will miss her wit, her ready smile and loving personality.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
