Breanna Grace Elizabeth Connell, age 27, of Boonville, passed away on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the University of Missouri Hospital. She was born in Riverside, California on December 16, 1996.
Friends will be received from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at Howard Funeral Home, with a Memorial Service to follow at 2:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
She graduated from Boonville High School, Class of 2015, and attended State Fair Community College, where she was close to receiving her associate’s degree. She was employed as a waitress at The Cove in Boonville.
Breanna never met a stranger. She was known for her generosity and ability to lift your mood or give advice. She was slow to judge and quick to love. The bonds she shared with family, friends and customers were like no other. All will miss her sarcastic humor and infectious loud laugh. She was a fun loving and patient mom to her 2 small children and an awesome aunt to her nephews.
She leaves behind her mother Amy Connell of the home; children Victoria, age 6, and Rowan, age 5, also of the home. She also will be missed by her siblings Jennifer Connell of Centralia, Mack Hunt of Boonville; her Nana and Papa, Ruby and Ken Connell of Boonville; nephews Taylor Connell and Aaron Zou her biological mother Frances Hassler; and tons of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made for final expenses and for Breanna’s children Victoria and Rowan, in care of their “Gigi”, Amy Connell.
Arrangements are under the direction of Howard Funeral Home, 1397 Ashley Rd., Boonville, Mo 65233 (660) 882-3381. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.howardfh.com.
