Lynnell, age 68, went to be with her Savior February 19, 2023, while under the tender care of Knute Nelson Hospice, and staff at Fair Oaks Lodge in Wadena. Lynnell was born on October 19, 1954, to William and Dorothy (Brotze) Breid, at Wesley Hospital in Wadena, MN. She graduated from Wadena High School in 1972. From there she enrolled at St. Mary's Jr. College where she earned an associate degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant from 1972-1974. She found a job at the Fergus Falls State Hospital to care for children with disabilities. In 1981, Lynnell decided to move to Tulsa, OK, where she spent the next 27 years. While there she also went to a 2-year program at Rhema Bible Training. She had a passion in her religious beliefs. Christmas was a very special time of year for her. When she was with her family during Christmas there would always be singing and music playing. Lynnell was also very giving at that time of year. In 2008, Lynnell had moved back to Wadena to take care of her mom until Dorothy passed away. Lynnell enjoyed researching the family genealogy, crocheting and traveling. You never saw her without a camera in her hand either. Preceding Lynnell in death were her parents, Bill and Dorothy. Keeping memories of Lynnell will be her siblings, Nora (Dennis) Walters of Mentor and Don (Ruth Egerer) Breid of New Richmond, WI; niece, Leanne (Scott) Taft of Brooklyn Center; nephew, Larry Pelant of Le Centre; great nephew, Kyle Bosacker; along with several relatives and friends. Honorary urn bearers will be her family and all who called her friend. Burial will be in Wadena Cemetery, Wadena, MN. Lynnell had a big heart for dogs. Two of her dogs had the same name, Noel. One of her requests for after her passing was to have monetary funds go to the Wadena County Humane Society. She would truly appreciate it.
