Brandy Kay Bybee Szynalski, age 50, of North Judson, Indiana, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 24, 2021. Brandy was a warm, loving person and the heart of our family. She cared about people as symbolized by a sign on her wall that stated “Family Gathers Here” and everyone did. She was the person family and friends called to talk and she listened sympathetically and empathized with their problems. She was a good mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She loved children and attracted them wherever she went. She never missed an opportunity to hold any baby. She was the best wife and partner; her absence will make the world a lesser place as a result. Love is in your heart and hers will remain in the hearts of all who knew her. She volunteered most recently as a Girl Scout Leader, worked at North Judson-San Pierre Schools in the after school Kids Club, and was a preschool teacher. She loved to team cook with her husband, read, bake, do crafts, share adventures while travelling with her family in their RV and anything Disney.
She is survived by her mother, Rosi Snyder Heroy (Tom), her father, Patrick Bybee (Debbie), her husband, Thomas F. Szynalski, her daughters, Kelsey Bybee, Rachael Principe, Sydney Szynalski, a son, Liam Szynalski, granddaughter, Aria Schneider, grandson, Quinn Bybee, a brother, Adam Bybee, step-brothers, Christopher Heroy, Mike Vidulich, step-sisters, Allison Aldridge (Robert), Stacy Bays (Shawn), and many nieces, nephews and family who loved her dearly.
A funeral service will take place Friday, August 27, 2021 at 11:00am (CT), with visitation one hour prior to services at M.C. Smith Funeral Home. Cremation will follow.
