Karlyann Marie Boecker was born Dec. 22, 2003, in Melrose, to Daniel and Jayme (Wold) Boecker. She attended St. John's/St. Andrew's Elementary School and then graduated from Melrose High School in 2022. During her high school years, she was involved in musicals and FFA. She recently became an FFA Alumni Officer. Karlyann continued her education at Alexandria Technical & Community College as a lab technician. She was working at CentraCare as a phlebotomist. When she wasn't working, she enjoyed time at Lake Amelia in Villard with her family. She was looking forward to the Fourth of July weekend.
Karlyann's heart journey started at the age of 15 days old, when she had her first surgery. She has had many heart surgeries due to a rare heart defect. Throughout her life, she attended Camp Odayin in Cross Lake where she made many friends. Karlyann was a heart warrior and will continue to be one even though she is gone as she donated her heart to research to help others in need.
Survivors include her parents, Dan and Jayme Boecker of Greenwald; sister, Maddysen (Zachary) Cave of Fargo; boyfriend, Wyatt Ritter of Melrose; grandparents, Don (Paulina) Wold of Belgrade, Carol (Ronald) Winter of Melrose, and Allen (Val) Boecker of Sauk Centre; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Karlyann was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Ray (Mary Ann) Barten, Norbert (Elizabeth) Boecker, Donna Wold, Miles (Marcella) Wold, and Raymond (Fay) Sandvig.
In lieu of flowers, memorials will be donated to Karlyann's favorite organizations.
