BreeAnn Lyn Meadows, nee Baumgarten, passed away with family by her side at home on Sunday, August 11, 2024, after a valiant battle with cancer at the age of 35.
BreeAnn, daughter of JoAnn Frame and Danny Baumgarten, was born March 15, 1989. She graduated from Baraboo High School, Class of 2007. After high school, Bree attended MATC-Truax Campus. She held many jobs in town, thriving in the hospitality industry because of her natural ability to connect with any and everyone. Most recently, BreeAnn worked at Seneca as an oven maintainer. While there, she proudly earned her journeyman license.
BreeAnn married Aubry Meadows on June 10, 2017. The couple fell in love in 2011 and together share a beautiful daughter, Finley. BreeAnn’s family was her world. She loved spending time in the Northwoods with her Oma and her many friends there.
Always the most spirited, BreeAnn loved people, and she loved to celebrate. She was a firecracker who went all out for every holiday and always stepped up for those she cared about. BreeAnn enjoyed arts & crafts and shopping - never passing up a garage sale. BreeAnn had a witty sense of humor up until the end. We will miss her loving spirit and contagious smile. The world will be quieter and less colorful with her gone. Remember her when you see glitter on a Halloween costume, green on St. Patrick’s Day and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
She is survived by her husband, Aubry; their daughter, Finley; mother, JoAnn Frame; father, Danny Baumgarten; brother, Brady (Laura Stankus) Baumgarten and their daughter, Dolly; sister, Bailey (Michael Martz) Baumgarten and their daughters, Mabel and Madelyn; Oma Carole Frame; other aunts, uncles, cousins, distant relatives and many many friends.
She was preceded in death by her Mimi Shirley and Bompa Oscar Baumgarten; Opa Vernon Frame; uncles, Jim Baumgarten and Jay Frame and her cousins, Jeff Luther and Josh Stieve.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at Double KD Ranch from 12:00 noon - 4:00 p.m. Inurnment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the family which will be used for Finley’s care and higher education.
BreeAnn’s family would like to thank all those that held them through this difficult time. Much love to you all. When remembering BreeAnn, put a smile on your face and wipe away the tears.

BreeAnn was a breath of fresh air. She was so outgoing and funny..and just as sweet. I am so glad that she got to meet my grandson! Finley came up with his nickname. We all call him Lufy now. The world is for sure a little dimmer now. Sending Aubry, Uncle Danny, JoAnn and the whole family my deepest sympathies. I just loved her.
