Rebekah Braun
April 3, 1986 – February 19, 2024
Rebekah Braun was an amazing woman. She will be missed by family and friends. She had many accomplishments including a Black belt in karate and being a book and short story author. She was adventurous, attending universities in four states and earning a Bachelors degree in English at Minnesota State University of Moorhead and a Masters in Public Administration with a Healthcare emphasis at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
Bekah worked in the healthcare industry for more than 10 years. She was a skilled boss who cared about worker needs. The people who reported to her said that she is one of the good bosses. Angel, one of Bekah’s closest friends, says, “Bekah was the most kind hearted, loving and selfless person you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. To love her was an honor and to be in her life was a gift. She would always put others before herself, even when fighting the toughest battle. Heaven gained the most beautiful soul.” Angel and Bekah had a heart for senior adults and hoped to open a senior living facility.
Bekah had a million dollar smile that let her make friends easily. One of the special friends was Rachel. As children, they enjoyed playing outside. They attended school together from kindergarten through high school.
Bekah died peacefully at her parent’s home after a five year battle with cancer. Special thanks to Angel who walked through this with all of us. When Angel visited, Bekah always greeted her with a big smile. Toward the end of her life, Bekah’s uncle Scott was a source of comfort and encouragement. Thank you to family and friends who prayed for her, supported her and brought her comfort.
The family would like to thank St. Nicholas cancer clinic for their excellent care while treating Bekah. Their nurses are amazing. Thank you to Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice and Home Instead for helping Bekah during the last weeks of her life. Home Instead care givers helped us keep her at home and comfortable.
