Brandi was born March 26, 1979, to Buck and Betty Lindsey, in Longview, Texas, and passed from this life November 9, 2022, surrounded by family and friends.

Brandi was a 1997 graduate of Longview High School where she was a Drum Major and Majorette in the Big Green Marching Machine. Upon graduation, she attended Kilgore College where she earned an Associate Degree in Business. She then attended Texas A&M University where she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics. Brandi married Josh Cato, on June 1, 2002, in Longview, Texas. They lived in College Station until June 2004 where she was a Portfolio Analyst for First American Bank. In June 2004, Brandi accepted a position with Pilgrim’s Pride, which later became JBS. There she worked as a Financial Analyst until her illness in October 2021. Brandi was a member of East Mountain Primitive Baptist Church. She enjoyed worshiping and spending time with her church family. After the birth of Camryn, Brandi was especially proud of the times when four generations would be sharing a pew on Sunday. Brandi enjoyed spending time with friends, family, and her fur babies, but her most prized possession was the time she was able to spend with her children. Brandi prided herself on being at every event her children participated in. She was a dedicated wife, mother, friend, and employee and she will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Josh Cato; daughter, Camryn Cato, and son, Chase Cato; father, Buck Lindsey (Sandra); brother, Barry Lindsey (Kristi); niece, Karsyn Lindsey; nephew, Klein Lindsey; mother and father-in-law, Teresa and Tim Cato; sister-in-law Stephanie Van Houtan (Nate) and family.

She is preceded in death by her mother Betty Lindsey in 2017.
