Carrie L. Welnel, 50,
Minot, passed away Sun-
day, August 15, 2021 in
Minot.
Carrie Lynn
Breitling-Welnel, daughter
of William and Ada
(Brunelle) Breitling, was
born on April 1, 1971, in
Wolf Point, MT. She was
raised in Sidney, MT
where she built many
memories and lifelong
friends.
In 2001, Carrie moved
to Minot with her four
children, where she
earned a Masters Degree
in Business Administra-
tion from Minot State
University. This opened
up several teaching and
business opportunities.
Carrie was most recently
the office manager for
Napa Auto Parts in Minot
and Bismarck.
Carrie lived for her fam-
ily. Her true passion was
spending time with her
children and her
grandchildren. She loved
nothing more than attend-
ing all of their games and
events. She was busy
helping Carlie plan her
upcoming wedding. Her
grandchildren loved to
snuggle up with her in her
recliner with a big bowl of
popcorn and having pan-
cakes and waffles at their
sleepovers. She was look-
ing forward to meeting
her newest grandbaby, Sa-
vanna Lynn Dishon born
Saturday.
She loved her short
weekend visits to Sidney.
She enjoyed keeping her-
self busy by spending
time with her dogs, gar-
dening, and working on
different house projects.
She took up quilting with
her mother and sister,
Christy, making several
quilts for loved ones. She
fell in love with Arizona
on a recent trip to visit
her youngest sister,
Renee, and hoped to re-
side there someday.
She will forever be
remembered by her loving
charm, warm smile that
would brighten any room,
and her laugh that could
be heard a mile away.
