Brandi Mae Koelsch, age 48, of the Town of Lomira, WI, passed away tragically on November 1, 2025.

Brandi was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend whose love and kindness touched everyone who knew her. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Makayla Koelsch, who was the light of her life. Brandi cherished every moment spent with Makayla - encouraging her creativity, supporting her love for art, and proudly cheering her on in dance.

She is also survived by her mother, Sheryl Morgan; her sisters, Jennifer (Randall) Raith and Michelle (Paul) Slaughter; and her brother, Billy (Amanda) Morgan. Brandi was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews, Alexis (Erik) Smith-Cramer, Regan (Kellen) Broach, Hayden Morro, Abby Slaughter, Molly Slaughter, Madison Fellenz, Sage Morgan, Autumn Raith, Tyler Fellenz, and Avery (Kaylee) Raith - as well as a proud great-aunt to Lylah Smith-Cramer, Sawyer Smith-Cramer, Oliver Smith-Cramer, Sophia Smith-Cramer, Peyton Reitz, Lukas Raith, Marleigh Fellenz, Brently Fellenz, Ashton Broach, and Lenora Broach.

Brandi was known for her generous spirit and her ability to bring warmth and laughter to every gathering. She was a loyal friend to many, always ready to listen, help, and lift others up with her infectious smile and caring heart.

A celebration of Brandi’s life will be held from 1:00 until 5:00 pm on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at Heidel House, 653 Illinois Ave., Green Lake, WI 54941, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory and the beautiful legacy of love she leaves behind.
