Amy was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to Bill and Myrtle Whitehead on November 11, 1956. She was an avid University of Tennessee football fan, where she received her undergraduate degree. She received her master’s degree at Xavier University in Hospital Administration. She was married to her husband, Michael C. Brannen, for 36 years and had one daughter, Kathleen M. Brannen. She greatly enjoyed spending time with her husband and daughter on their various adventures to Ireland, Italy, Boston, San Francisco, and Hilton Head Island. She was at peace when walking the beach and found joy in her crochet, reading, and cooking. She was a connoisseur of both hot and cold teas and enjoyed swapping teas with her daughter. She loved all of her pets, including the neighborhood’s stray cats that she frequently brought into her home for safety on cold nights.

 

Amy is survived by her husband, Michael Brannen; daughter, Kathleen Brannen (Jason Rowe); cat, Lola; sister, Victoria Said (Adan Said); and sister, Teresa Ferguson.
