Brandee Lea Cummins, 56, Willow River, died on Friday, February 20, 2026 in M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center following a brief battle with cancer.  Brandee was born on September 5, 1969 in Duluth to Linda Clark Walker and Robert Fred Cummins.  She grew up in Waller, Texas and worked for Dr. Wendall Baker in Prairie View, Texas for over 20 years.  In 2023, she moved to Willow River and worked at L & M Supply in Cloquet until becoming an administrative assistant at First National Bank in Moose Lake where she was currently employed.  Brandee was all about love and she did it fiercely!  From humans to horses to dogs, Brandee went out of her way to be compassionate, caring, and spread love.  She would literally give the shirt off her back to help someone in need.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Fred Cummins.

Brandee will be lovingly remembered by her mother: Linda Walker; sisters: Cristi (Darryl) Pell and Jessica (Joe) Gilchrist; brothers: Trebor Walker, Robbie Cummins, and Mark Ostoff; nephews and nieces: Brody Swearingen, Kade Klehm, Bella Gilchrist, Brey Ostoff, Sheria Ostoff, and Austin Ostoff; many aunts, uncles, cousins; and a million friends that were family.
