Brandy Shaluta, 45, of Oakland, passed away on March 23, 2025, at Garrett Regional Medical Center. Born on April 28, 1979, she was the daughter of Sam and Debbie (Ridder) Shaluta of Oakland.

Brandy was a graduate of Southern High School. She attended Crossroads Church and cherished spending time with her family and friends, especially her children, whom she held dear. Brandy enjoyed walks, playing games with her kids, bowling, putt-putt golf, dancing, and listening to music. Known for her big heart and beautiful smile, she loved working with people, particularly alongside her mom at Little Rascals Early Learning Center.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Carl and Willovene Ridder, and her paternal grandfather, Sam H. Shaluta.

Brandy's request for cremation was honored. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
