Brandi Mallory was a positive force in the lives of her loved ones before she passed away.

A friend of the reality TV personality, who died earlier this month aged 40, said they were ‘so impressed with her as a person’.

Her friend and fellow makeup artist, Eva Jane, shared it People about how the Extreme Weight Loss star was “full of life” and “an eternal optimist.”

On November 9, Mallory was found dead in the parking lot of Chipotle in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

After her friends and family celebrated Mallory’s life, Jane said the funeral was somber but also lighthearted.

She added that her loved ones not only shed tears, but also shared personal stories of moments of happiness they shared with Mallory and the joy she had spread.

“I was so impressed with her as a person because she was so positive, just an eternal optimist,” she said of her late friend.

She also said Mallory had an “electric” and “very big personality” that she will miss.

“I don’t want to speak in clichés, like she lit up the room – but she did,” she continued. “She didn’t complain or find fault with anyone or anything.”

“She was full of life, always looking for a way to make the atmosphere and environment around her that much better, and to encourage everyone around her,” she said.

“She had a very big personality,” she added. “She was electric.”

Jane also described Mallory as someone who had an authentic nature and was always herself, without pretenses.
