Obituary For Brandie Lester
Brandie Natazia Ross-Lester, the daughter of Yvette Williams and Brad Ross, was born in Harrisburg, PA.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Emma and Ezra Scott and Isabelle Ross; her aunt, Shelly Burden; uncles, Ollie, Jay and Dennis Ross and her cousin/brother, Eddie McMullen, Jr.
Brandie leaves to cherish her legacy and many special memories to her husband, Kenneth (Kenny) Lester III; two daughters, Amayla Brown and Kenya Lester; one son, Jordan Lester, all of Harrisburg, PA; her parents, Yvette Williams (Vincent) and Brad Ross (Terri); sisters, Joleane Ross and Yvette (Pookie) Ross; her cousin/brother, Quinn Coley; uncles, S. Shawn Scott and Gary Ross; her mother-in-law, Darlene Washington; her brother-in-law, Stephen Washington; nieces, Christian Ross, Raynne-Marie Palmer, Divine Johnson, Omini and Onesty Washington; nephew, Isaiah Palmer and a host of family and friends.
