With deep sadness, the Oneida community mourns the sudden and tragic passing of 46-year-old Brandy LaFlesh, who lost her life on the night of November 18, 2025, in a devastating crash on Blackmans Corners Road in Verona. Brandy’s life ended unexpectedly after the vehicle she was driving crashed just minutes after she fled a traffic stop earlier that evening
According to officials, Brandy had been stopped on State Route 365 when she abruptly left the scene. Roughly 30 minutes later, deputies and emergency crews responded to the crash, where Brandy was found with fatal injuries and pronounced deceased. Her passenger was seriously hurt, underscoring the heartbreaking severity of the collision.
Though the circumstances of her passing were tragic and unexpected, Brandy is remembered for far more than the final moments of her life. She was a woman with a full story — loved by family, cherished by friends, and known for her spirit, her warmth, and the connections she built throughout her life. Those who knew her recall her sense of humor, her compassion, and her ability to light up a room with her presence.
Brandy’s sudden departure leaves a profound emptiness in the lives of those who loved her. The grief felt by her family and friends is immeasurable, as they reflect on the memories, laughter, and moments shared with her over the years. Her life, though cut short, touched many hearts and left a lasting impact.
As loved ones mourn, they hold tightly to the memory of Brandy — not defined by the tragedy of her passing, but by the love she gave and the life she lived. May she rest in eternal peace, and may her memory remain a source of comfort and strength for all who are grieving.
Forever loved. Forever missed.
