We are heartbroken to share the loss of Brandi Koelsch who tragically passed away 11/01/25 due to an apartment fire.

Brandi was a truly amazing person and the most loving soul. She had a gift for uplifting and inspiring those around her- always offering words of encouragement and support.

Her daughter, Makayla was the center of her universe. She just got to take her dress shopping for her first high school homecoming, a milestone every mother looks forward to. Now a memory she’ll cherish more than ever.

We’re creating this gofundme to help with the unexpected costs during this incredibly challenging time.

Brandi leaves behind so many people that loved her. She will be missed beyond words and remembered forever in our hearts.

Any remaining funds will be allocated to help support her daughter Makayla’s future.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the brave first responders who tried everything they could to save her.
