Emily Northrup Breese

Emily passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at Village Pointe Commons in Grafton, Wisconsin.
She was 62 years old.

Emily was born in Waukesha and was predeceased by her parents, Joanne and Robert Breese. She is survived by her devoted siblings: John Breese (Mary Sweval) of Bayfield, Wisconsin, and Jennifer MacLeod (Keith) of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She is further survived by her nieces: Rachel Roloff (Terrance), Heather MacLeod and Bronwyn MacLeod, as well as her nephews: Andrew Breese (Lana), and Jack Breese (Brittney). One of Emily’s greatest joys was spending time with her great-nieces: Lia, Hazel, Harlow, Joey, and Juniper, and her great-nephew, Wesson. Emily is also survived by loving cousins in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Florida and Thailand.

Emily was a colorful character! She had many outstanding qualities and was extraordinarily generous. She had an encyclopedic knowledge of movies, TV shows, and actors, and she had a wicked laugh.
We will miss her.
