Obituary
MOUNT HOREB - Mary Jane Bollig, age 89, of Mount Horeb, passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at The Legacy at Noel Manor. She was born on September 14, 1935, in Madison, the daughter of Paul and Frances (Littel) Miller.
Mary attended St. Francis Xavier Catholic School in Cross Plains and graduated from Middleton High School in 1953 where she was a cheerleader and a Majorette, leading the High School Band. She and her husband, Delbert Bollig, were married on November 28, 1953, at St. Francis Xavier Parish, Cross Plains. Mary worked at Karakahl Inn for many years, and in dietary for Ingleside Retirement Community for 18+ years before retirement.
Mary was a member of St. Ignatius Parish in Mount Horeb for over 60 years and was very involved in church and community activities. She enjoyed the conversations while she volunteered her hairdressing skills for family members and for residents at Ingleside.
Mary was best known for her cheerful nature and a smile that could light up a room, and for her strong belief in faith and family. She loved the newborns, and she was her children’s and grandchildren’s biggest fan in their sports and other activities. She was a strong woman of faith, and believed in the Power of the Rosary, and was able to pray it to the end even when her memory was failing her, and her wonderful sense of humor was with her to the end. Mary enjoyed family gatherings and parties, singing at the piano bar, slot machines, travel that included Alaska, Hawaii, Medjugorje, and the many trips to Door County. Mary also loved her gatherings with the coffee clutch friends in Mount Horeb.
Mary is survived by her son, Steve Bollig, daughter, Pam Lamberty, son, Randy (Roxanne) Bollig, daughter, Paula (Len) Hornung and son, Chuck Bollig; grandchildren, Tyler (Whitney) Knudtson, Wyatt (Danielle-Fiancé) Bollig, Jackson Bollig, Jessica (Chris) McFarland, Justin (Renee) Lamberty, KC Lamberty, Ryan Bollig, Mandy (Jake) Herman, Jeremy (Liz) Bollig, Garrison (Iva) Bollig, Luke (Kristy) Hornung, Anthony (Sarah) Hornung, Regina (Will) Thompson, Josh Bollig and Lindsey (Kyle - Fiancé) Bollig.
