Brandie Duke

Activities Director

Brandie is the Executive Activities Director at The Gardens Memory Care and has been a member of the staff family for 5 years. Brandie has been working in health care for over 16 years and has loved every minute of it. She loves bringing smiles to their faces and making everyday enjoyment for them. It’s truly a blessing. Is it really going to work when you love what you do?

Brandie resides in Lebanon, Tn with her four children one in which she adopted three years ago. She has one daughter and three sons along with three dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her kids play sports, volunteering in her church, and just about anything outdoors from hiking, fishing to camping. She is a die-hard UT fan and loves to watch college football. She loves to help with anything you can usually find her volunteering around her community. My favorite bible verse is Ephesians 4:32 “be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ forgave you.”
