Obituary: Bielen, Mary Jane Hoberg

Age 63


BIELEN, Mary Jane Hoberg

Was born November 13, 1952 and went home to Jesus on January 20, 2016 after a seven year battle with Ovarian cancer.

She is preceded in death by her father, Ed, mother, Aone, and sister, Barbara.

Mary was an amazing wife, mama, sister, aunt, nana, friend, and follower of Jesus Christ.

Mary’s legacy is both simple and profound.

She taught us all that, “Every day is a gift,” even the hard ones.

More than anything, she loved taking care of other people.

She adored Gonzaga basketball, being around her family and friends, and most of all, her grandchildren.

Mary is survived by her husband, Fred, children, Kalee (Tim) and Kyle (Kristi) and grandchildren, Jackson and Ezra.

We will celebrate Mary’s life and Home Going at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Saturday, May 21st at 11am.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary’s honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (www.stjude.org) or Redeemer Lutheran Church’s Vacation Bible School (3606 S. Schafer Rd.

Spokane Valley, WA 99206).
