Alma M. Brandon

January 24, 1952 - December 21, 2020

No matter how long you knew her, Alma's smiles, sassy opinions and genuine expressions of love could never be forgotten. From her birth, January 24, 1952 to her final smile December 21,2020, Alma Marie Brandon fiercely loved those around her. The second born child to the late Rev. George T. and late Cleda Meree Brandon, she was a devoted daughter, caring sister, Momma, Granna, aunt and friend. A Louisville native, after graduating from Ahrens High School in 1970, she proudly attended the University of Louisville as a young, single mom. Alma served in the purchasing department at her beloved alma mater until declining health forced retirement in 2019. She loved her work, but would tell you "I should have been an English teacher to teach you how to speak properly". A believer in Jesus Christ, Alma believed in "love in action" and serving God. She loved to sing in the choir and worship with her church family for the last 25 years, at Bates Memorial Baptist Church. She leaves to cherish her memory siblings, Rev. T.
