Beloved mother, grandmother, wife and sister, Theresa Brandt (Ogden) of Williamsville, NY, passed away peacefully on December 25, 2023, at age 69 after her brave battle with triple negative breast cancer. Born on January 21, 1954, in Lockport, NY, she was raised in Newfane, NY by her late parents Russell and Ethel Ogden. Theresa graduated from Newfane High School and later from SUNY Morrisville. She was extremely proud of her long career at Harrison Radiator and Delphi Thermal Systems, where she excelled, and made several lifelong friends.
Theresa is survived by her husband, Scott Brandt, and siblings Kathleen (Darryl) May, Clayton (Barb) Ogden and Diane Heminway. She is also survived by her son Adam (Amber) Moran and daughter Shannon (Erik) LeMoullec. Theresa was blessed with six grandchildren, Conlan and Brannen Moran, and Hayden, Reese, Ryder, and Harlow LeMoullec whom she adored and loved spending time with.
An accomplished runner, Theresa enjoyed participating in local races and completed four marathons. She loved to cook and took pride in the joy it brought to others. Favorite pastimes of hers were ballroom dancing with her husband, and having lunch with her girlfriends, where they would sit and laugh for hours. In retirement, Theresa enjoyed spending time in Florida with her husband and dear friends.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later time. In lieu of flowers, Theresa's wishes were for donations to be made to: The Breast Cancer Research Foundation or The Susan G. Komen Foundation.
