Brancy Lorraine Collura

TUCSON, Ariz. - Born in 1947 and dying in 2016, Brancy Lorraine Collura lived a life of adventure, lessons and love.

Brancy was born in California on Feb. 5, 1947, and spent her childhood and young adulthood on the West Coast. Love brought her to New York in 1966, where she started a family. Family was the most important part of Brancy's life, she and her husband, Steven Collura, raised their children and grandchildren in Ironwood, Mich.

Brancy was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer in mid-November that took her life a few days later on Nov. 21, 2016. Brancy was surrounded by many during her last moments. There was an incredible amount of love and support with her as she crossed over. Welcomed by many in her next life and survived by her three daughters, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, Brancy's love and legacy will live on.

Brancy's family would like to thank everyone for their love, support and shared memories. The memorial service took place Friday, Nov. 25, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Tucson.

Sympathies can be sent to her eldest daughter, Dawn Rye, (528 E. Oak St., Ironwood MI, 49938) to be shared with the family.
