Janice (Pinney) Budensiek

 

 

On Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018, Janice (Pinney) Budensiek went to meet the Lord.  Her faith in God helped carry her through many difficult situations, from a tree falling on her to the loss of her husband 10 months ago. Janice knew her scripture, but her faith was expressed through her singing. 

  Janice was born on April 19, 1935, in Elgin, Iowa, to Frank and Mabel Pinney.   

She attended school in Elgin and graduated in 1953.

Janice had her first job in Rochester, Minn., at Mayo Clinic. 

  Janice met Roger Budensiek shortly after moving to Rochester.  She married the love of her life in 1956 and enjoyed 61 years of blissful marriage. They were blessed with three children, Pam, Paula, and Todd. 

  She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed practical jokes, particularly on April 1.  Janice did not believe in an alarm to wake up her children, but instead, woke them up to her singing the “Good Morning Song” from Booth and Cannon.  She loved spending time with both her immediate and extended family.

Family was very important to Janice.  She looked forward to celebrating birthdays and holidays, with immediate and extended family and friends. 

Janice leaves behind daughter Pam Holubetz, daughter Paula (Jim) Stewart, son Todd (Virginia) Budensiek; grandchildren Chris (Bekki) Watkins, Patrick (Nicole) Watkins, April (Ryan) Tuquero, Maren (Matt) Hustad, Xong Xiong Stewart, Megan (Aaron) Wenker, Jon Holubetz, David Holubetz, Aaron (Angela) Budensiek, Josh (Brooke) Budensiek, Andrew Buckholtz, Katie Buckholtz; 13 great-grandchildren, sister Sharon (Roger) Krech; and sister-in-law Pauline (Glen) Todd.  

   Janice was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mabel Pinney; sister Patty and sister Gerry (Robert) Musser; son-in-law Kevin Holubetz; grandson Matt Stewart; great-grandson Koob Hmoov Stewart; and other relatives. 

  Visitation will be held Friday, Oct. 26, 2018, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.  

The memorial service will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018, and visitation will continue at 10 a.m. at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Goodhue, Minn.
