Brianna Kay Dankers

Updated service information:  Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024 from 4-7 p.m. at Mahn Family Funeral Home, Bodelson-Mahn Chapel in Red Wing.

Brianna Kay Dankers, 25, of Red Wing, left this world too soon, on Saturday, February 24, 2024.  She was born on August 4, 1998, in Red Wing to Christine Macheska and Jay Dankers.

Brianna attended school in Red Wing and later received her GED. Brianna possessed a smile that could illuminate even the darkest of days. Her exuberant spirit filled every room she entered, unapologetically embracing her unique identity without fear. It was impossible to ignore her presence; she had a way of making sure you knew she was there as she was often not the quietest in the room. Her love extended not only to her family and friends but also to her cherished animals - cats Punkin and Rio and her beloved dog whom she bid farewell to earlier. 

Brianna leaves behind her love and memory in the hearts of her surviving family - parents Jay Dankers and Christine Stream; sister April; grandparents Lenore Dankers, Ernie & Sue Schutz; aunts and uncles, Scott (Jolene) King, Greg (Sue) King, Dori (Scott) Mann, Rob (Cayla) Dankers and Melinda and Quinn Macheska; many cousins and great-aunts and uncles as well as her boyfriend, Arzo Tureaud and Dustin and Sawyer Buntmeyer who were like a brother and nephew to her.

She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Sonny Dankers who just passed away this past month; baby brother, Wyatt Stream and several great aunts and uncles.
