Brandi Cox

Brandi LeAnne “BB” McLelland Cox, 49, passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 surrounded by her loved ones.

Brandi was born June 11, 1977. She will be remembered for her kind and generous spirit, her creativity, her love for her family and her faith in Jesus Christ.

BB never met a stranger. She welcomed people from all walks of life without judgment and had a natural way of making those around her feel comfortable and included.

Above all else, Brandi loved her family. Shortly before her passing, she married her longtime love, Jason Cox, celebrating a relationship and family they had shared for many years.

Brandi was preceded in death by her father, William Ellis “Billy” McLelland.
