Loree Besser April 28, 1954 – January 30th, 2025

February 2, 2025/in Frontpage Article, Images, News, Uncategorized /by Ron P.

Yesterday we learned of Loree Bessers passing. She was a longtime LGF Volunteer and the President of the Brainerd Chapter for the past 4 years. She chose to retire her position as President at the end of our 2024 Season but was excited to stay on as a volunteer and Board Member at Large.

Loree’s devotion and passion for Let’s Go Fishing brought this Chapter back from the stale days of COVID. She was determined to see this Chapter succeed and passed on her knowledge of community to all the Board Members. Loree will be sadly missed. May her passion for Let’s Go Fishing live on.

In leu of flowers her family has asked for donations to be sent to:

Let’s Go Fishing – Brainerd Lakes Area Chapter, PO Box 257, Brainerd MN 56401

Services for Loree will be held at the Brenny Funeral Chapel in Baxter this Friday February 7th at 7pm. As a LGF volunteer please wear your gold/yellow shirt or LGF attire to show our support.

As Let’s Go Fishing continues to provide outings in the Brainerd Lakes Area, we want to thank our devoted volunteers, sponsors, in-kind donors and guests for our successful season last summer. We are looking forward to another fun, heart-warming season.

As in the past, there will be opportunities to schedule trips on Gull Lake, Rice Lake and Bay Lake. For the 2025 season LGF will host nature excursions from our Rice Lake location, These trips will feature a MN Master Naturalist onboard as we cruise the beautiful Upper Mississippi River. Bring your binoculars and cameras for this nature-filled experience. These excursions will not include fishing time and will be labeled as such.

Our primary client base includes senior residents of care facilities, those living at home with support services, individuals living independently, Veterans and our Youth. There is no cost, free will donations are accepted.

Our strong, committed team of trained volunteer captains and first mates offers our guests the best experience possible, whether fishing or simply cruising.
