She lived in Butte, Montana, at the time of her mother’s death.

Janice Lee Hoffman passed away on June 11, 2021, in Butte. Janice was born on May 02, 1941, in Biwabik, Minnesota, the daughter of John A. and Gladys L. (Goodman) Himango.

Mom worked hard her whole life and was an amazing example of what a strong, but gentle, loving, caring woman is, especially when she started a new chapter in her life. In the early 1970’s, she moved to Butte from Minnesota, with her three teenage children. That, in itself, was a challenge. She not only did it, she rocked it! She was happiest when with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

She worked many jobs throughout her years; from bar owner to cocktail waitress, security guard, and clerk at Woolworth’s. She spent many years cleaning private homes. The families she worked for always considered her as one of the family. She made many friends everywhere she went. Janice dedicated her life to taking care of her mother until she passed. She always did for others. We were thrilled when she finally found happiness with a longtime friend, Dennis Rinne. They filled the short time they had together with many fun times and memories. Family was her greatest treasure and to say there is an empty space in our lives where she was would be an understatement, but she made sure we have loving, happy, memories that fill the void in our hearts.

We were so thankful and blessed to be standing by Mom’s side when she left to join all of those waiting to greet her at Heaven’s gate. She is lovingly reunited with loved ones; husbands, Dennis Rinne and Don Hoffman; parents, John “Arnold” and Gladys “Bunny” Himango; loving sister and best friend, Patti (Gilbert) Odella; baby, Tommy Hoffman; grandbabies, Daniel and David; and great-grandbaby, Jeremy Marsenich.

She was also preceded in death by her sons-in-law, Jerry Riordan and Mark Marsenich; and daughter-in-law, Susan Hoffman, and members of the Hoffman family in Minnesota.

She is survived by her daughters, Dorie Riordan, Charlene (Tim) McGinley: son, Don Hoffman, all of Butte; stepchildren, Michele (Doreen) Rinne of Minnesota, Mike (Mishiyo) Seko of Japan, Mark (Suzzette) Rinne of Minnesota, Pam Swan of Butte, Doris Pelly of Germany, Don Pelly of Billings, and George and Pat Pelly of Butte. She was a second mom to her niece, Kelly Odella of Arkansas; and nephews, Mike (Rebecca) Odella and John (Becky) Odella, of Minnesota. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Jennifer Marsenich, Mike (Tabitha) Marsenich, of Butte, Amanda (Chris) McGinley, Joe (Laci) Barick, of Ramsey, Don (Chelsea) Hoffman of Melrose, Alesha Hoffman, Jesse (Marissa) Hoffman, of Butte, Angela (Eric) Herbst of Helena, and Charle Notbohm of Nevada; and her many great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren

She lived in Edina, Minnesota, at the time of the death of her half-sister Shirley in June of 2011.

Hellekson, Beverly Bagge, age 87, died peacefully at home Oct. 23 following a long struggle with a spinal cord tumor and a two-month bout with heart failure. Born Oct. 3, 1926, Bev grew up with six siblings on a farm in Traill County, ND, and graduated from Caledonia High School, where, at 5'4", she was captain of the girls' basketball team. After working at a Chicago insurance company and attending college at UW-Madison and UND, Bev married Gordon Hellekson in 1949. They were at home in Grand Forks before relocating to Minneapolis in 1956. Bev was the consummate homemaker, known for her culinary skills, creative birthday parties and lovely flower garden. She retired from secretarial work with Edina Schools around 1990, but never retired from being a devoted mother. Her 2012 move from her home on Hawkes Drive, Edina, site of countless bridge club and dinner parties, marked the end of a wonderful era. Bev is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gordy; sister Shirley Thoe Skeim; and brother John (Vonnie) Bagge. She is survived by her daughter, Diane; son, Jim; grandson, Linden Holt; and siblings Ardis Braseth, Walter (Juanita) Bagge, Helen Powers, and Donna Benson. Private interment at Fort Snelling.
