Tressa Ann (Savage) Brannon was born on March 6, 1963, in Mt. Pleasant, Texas to Nola and Elmer Ray Savage. She transitioned peacefully on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
Tressa, fondly known by all as “Bea,” attended school in Talco, Texas. She worked at Pilgrim Pride in Mount Pleasant, Texas, for many years and was a faithful member of a Full Gospel Pentecostal church in Mount Pleasant, Texas, until her health began to fail.
She married the love of her life, Earl Eugene Brannon, Sr. on February 13, 1978, and to this union three children were born: Earl Brannon Jr., Telesha Brannon, and Alicia Brannon. Bea was a loving and caring person who would do anything to help others. She deeply loved her family and church family. Bea was also well known for baking sweet milk cakes, which were a must-have at family gatherings.
