Born on October 9, 1990, Brittany was the cherished daughter of Rotonda Berry Sandifer and the late Edmond Keith Sandifer Jr. . She was a beloved sister to Shareef Sandifer and Dezire' Sandifer. She was preceded in death by her father, Edmond Keith Sandifer Jr., and her grandfather, Edmond Sandifer Sr. She leaves behind her three beautiful daughters, Imani Collins, Amari Sandifer, and Azari Collins; her son, Donovan Collins Jr.; her devoted mother, Rotonda Berry Sandifer; her siblings, Shareef Sandifer and Dezire' Sandifer; her nephew, Renaldo Thomas III; her beloved grandmother, Cora Sandifer; God-Mother Lynette Hildeburg and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who loved her deeply. Her family was her pride and joy. Brittany was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, where she graduated from St. Mary's Academy before pursuing her studies at Herzing University New Orleans. She completed her Sterile Processing Technician program and worked at Ochsner Baptist in the Sterile Processing Department. Determined to advance her career in healthcare and continue her education, she re-enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Herzing University, expecting to graduate in Fall 2026. In acknowledgment of her hard work, determination, and dedication, Herzing University awarded her an Honorary Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Known for her kind and beautiful spirit, Brittany possessed an extraordinary work ethic and wisdom that touched everyone around her. Her beauty radiated both inside and out. Her charming personality endeared her to many. She had a remarkable ability to light up any room, and her infectious laugh could brighten even the darkest days. Brittany's passions included cooking, dancing, and music of all genres, and she brought joy to many with her acute sense of humor. She was a light in the lives of those who knew her and a true blessing to her family. As a devoted mother, she poured her love into her children, ensuring they felt cherished and adored. Her life was a testament to living fully and bringing glory to God, and her legacy will forever resonate in our hearts. As we remember Brittany, let us celebrate her life, her love for her children, and the light she brought into our lives. She exemplified the strength and dignity of a Proverbs 31 woman. A verse that resonated deeply with her spirit is Proverbs 31:25: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed." Brittany's legacy continues through her children and all the lives she touched. Let us carry her spirit in our hearts and remember the joy she brought into our lives.
