Chelsea Lee Whelan
Chelsea Lee Whelan , Age 31
December 10, 2021, at home Chelsea Lee Whelan, 31, died peacefully with her family by her side on Friday morning, in Baraboo, WI.
Chelsea was born January 27, 1990 at St. Claire Hospital to Glenn and Lynda Whelan. She graduated from Baraboo High School in 2008 and shortly after found her calling as a mother and a caregiver to others.
Chelsea was a devoted mother to her daughter, Akeelah Grace, and spent all of her time on Earth ensuring that she knew she was loved. Chelsea understood she was living on borrowed time and spent every day displaying a gracefulness to us all that only a few could be lucky to achieve in life. She had a witty sense of humor and enjoyed joking with her friends and family endlessly.
Chelsea is survived by her mother, Lynda Whelan, daughter Akeelah Whelan, brothers Andrew (Brittney) Whelan and Taylor Henke, nephew Brett Whelan, boyfriend Robert Racinowski, his children Jaz and Emmy, and her longtime dear friend Aaron Hill and his children Wesley and Akasha, who she loved like her own. She is also survived by her Grandparents, Richard (Janice) Wirth, Mark (Ursula) Whelan, Great Grandmother Bernice Hanson, and many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and genuine Friends who have been so incredibly supportive and reliable in her life. Her favorite dog, Lucy, will certainly miss eating Grandmas jelly toast with her every morning.
She was preceded in death by her father, Glenn Whelan.
Our family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Randy Krszjzaniek, Dr. Amit Sanyal, Dr. Alan Lozier, the neurooncological staff at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and the incredible women from Inclusa and Hospice of Sauk County.
A memorial service will be held December 17, 2021 at Redlin-Ertz Funeral Home at 5:00 pm with visitation prior to service time starting at 3:00 pm.

Chelsea had complete faith in the resurrection hope ; to so bravely and graciously use her life to be a blessing to others. What a beautiful example for all of us to have complete confidence that we will see Chelsea in paradise. The heavenly Kingdom government by Christ will accomplish this for us. With eternity in our hearts, we live like we are going to live forever, because we can do this by means of Christ’s ransom sacrifice. The original purpose for people to live forever will be realized by those in God’s memory. John 5:28,29 Those ruling with Christ as kings and priests are ruling over the meek ones who will inherit the earth . Rev 21:3,4 We will be very busy helping the resurrected ones praise and worship God forever. The miracle of the resurrection will motivate us to serve God eternally. May you be comforted, JW.org “Enjoy Life Foreverâ€. Warm Christian Love, Sandy Wirfs
