Brandy Nicole Pleasants was born August 16, 1983 to the union of Joseph and Nancy Pleasants in Beaufort, South Carolina.

From an early age Brandy exuded a likeness for helping those in need and served as an EMT with the Frog Level Rescue Squad. After graduating from Caroline County High School, she went to work for the United States Postal Service as a Rural Carrier, Shop Steward, and Acting Supervisor in Ashland, Virginia and served as Post Master Relief in Ladysmith, Virginia.

In 2010 Brandy graduated Magna Cum Laude from ECPI College of Technology with an Associate of Applied Health Science and Medical Assisting.

In her spare time Brandy enjoyed spending time with her sisters, attending bible study, and hanging out with her friends and co-workers. Brandy was known as the family and friend "doctor" and never hesitated to help those in need. As the oldest of five Brandy was the ideal role model and served as a listening ear to family and friends.

Brandy will be remembered for her radiating spirit and sweet personality that glimmered whenever she was met.
