Breanne L. Nelson, 48, passed away on October 17, 2025 at her home in Whitehall, WI.
Breanne was born on January 27, 1977 to Paul and Susan (Leonard) Nelson. She was raised in Osseo where she enjoyed family camping trips, her work as a local lifeguard, and spending time with friends.
Breanne and Ben were married in Blaine, MN. They moved to Colorado, though they later divorced, they had two beautiful girls, who were gifted with the same serving spirit as their mother. Her love of helping others led her to pursue a career in massage therapy at Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy. Breanne put all of her love and energy into every massage she gave. She was affectionately nicknamed, "Breezy". She loved being a mother to her daughters. Her clients will miss her loving and healing touch.
Breanne leaves behind her daughters, Naiya Hastings and Jaeda Hastings; parents, Paul (Susan) Nelson; brothers, Jeremy (Kristi) Nelson of Colfax and Aaron (Audra) Nelson of Fall Creek, along with nieces and nephews, Ella, Reagan, Avrie, and Ashton Nelson, and her two delightful shelter dogs, Hazel and Poppy, along with a multitude of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She touched the lives of so many and left a legacy of love that will remain in our hearts forever. In lieu of flowers, all memorials will help further Naiya and Jaeda's education.
A celebration of life visitation will be held from 1:00 -3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at the Osseo Evangelical Lutheran Church Hall.
