Brandie Michelle Dickey

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brandie Michelle (Fritz) Dickey, age 46, of Portland, IN. Brandie passed away on September 24, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Brandie was born on January 8, 1979, in Louisville, KY. She was a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend to many. Many came to know Brandie when she styled their hair. She enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, and crafts, and was a fierce protector of those she loved — never afraid to speak her mind.

She was preceded in death by her father, Brian Fritz; her brothers, Jonathan Finerty, Ronnie Finerty, and Brian Finerty, Sr.; and her sister, Angel Finerty.

Brandie is survived by her loving husband, Ryan Dickey; her children: Abby Juliano (Jacob), Brandon Fulk (Jessica), Jose Cantu III (Isabelle Ruiz), Hunter Cantu (Rileigh Norton), and Joshua Cantu; and her grandchildren: Emerson Cantu, Waylon Fulk, Joe Cantu, Gavin Cantu, Luca Juliano, Greyson Cantu, and Edie Fulk. She is also survived by her sister, Christina Fritz; her mother, Linda Fritz (Tom Nelson); and her beloved dogs, Bella and Lola.

Visitation will be held on Monday, September 29th, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Reichard Funeral Home, 400 W. Deerfield Road, Union City, IN 47390. A funeral service will begin at 2:00 p.m., with burial to follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery.

In honor of Brandie, the family invites guests to wear green, her favorite color.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Donate Life Indiana in Brandie’s name.
