Brianne (Bree) Zeitner

It is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the sudden passing of our beloved Brianne Francise Zeitner aged 34 on March 27th 2025.

Brianne is survived by her daughter Syrena, special partner Tyler, stepchildren Heather and Desiree, her mother Stacey (Papa Scott), father John, twin sister Leeanne(Gary), siblings Jodie, Jason, and William, as well as her natural nephews Alexander, Raymond, Odin, special niece Meadow, and special nephews Axxtyn and Gatlynn,  grandmother Paulette, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. That is just a few, because if you knew Brianne, EVERYONE was her family, and she loved every single person deeply and was incredibly loyal. To put it simply Brianne used the Hawaiian word OHANA to describe how she felt about all of the people in her life...OHANA means family, and Brianne prided herself in emphasizing mutual support, shared responsibilities, and a strong sense of community. It wasn't uncommon for Brianne to be surrounded by more people than chairs in her house. If she could help a person up, she would go hungry to make that person comfortable and happy, as well as if you needed money she would give her last dollar and say she was fine. Brianne wore her heart on her sleeve and was a true humanitarian.

Brianne was born December 31 1990, and was a survivor right from her first breath onward. Nothing in her life was ever half done, or Brianne was not satisfied until it was completed. Brianne worked for just under 10 years at Dollarama and part time for Absolute Moving where she met so many people and would give it her all, everyday leaving a job satisfied that she helped someone else. Brianne was a huge Disney fan, and collected everything to commemorate her love for the adorable film characters. Even though she collected everything, she knew where everything was and that it better have remained in its place.

Brianne was a loving mother, a loyal partner, a devoted sister as well as an amazing daughter that made her parents beam with pride, and was highly respected by her work colleagues and all levels of friends. If Brianne had it her way, every friendship would be individually listed with a page long description, which is not possible but I would like to mention two special friends...Robynleigh Welier because this friendship started when they were in grade school and carried on to present day, whereas their daughters Syrena, and Emily, are just as close as Brianne and Robyn were, and Rae Finan whom through thick and thin, no matter what the situation or circumstances were, would do anything, and everything for each other.  

Brianne would be over the moon with love and pride knowing just how many lives she actually touched.  Thank you for your outpouring love, and  being here to pay your respects to Brianne, may the warmth of her love, infectious smile, and vivid memories shine upon you always.
