Mabel Elsie Bohjanen

Mabel married Robert Bohjanen on October 19, 1944. In 1950, they moved to Marquette and established their home on Wilkinson Avenue where they would spend their 65-year marriage. Mabel’s home and family were her greatest joys and she delighted as her family grew through the years as they welcomed eight children, many grandchildren and many, many great grandchildren.

Mabel went home to be with the Lord peacefully on May 11, 2021, where she joins Robert and two daughters, Susan Goldsworthy and Elizabeth Bohjanen as well as her parents and siblings.

Mabel is survived by four daughters, Barbara (Robert) Dillinger of Limestone, MI, Judy (Rick) Israel of Fall Creek, Wisconin, Sandy (Larry) Willis of Richmond, Virginia, and Sharon (Peter Hutter) Bohjanen of Big Bay; two sons, Richard (May) Bohjanen of Marquette and Paul (Kim) Bohjanen of Woodbury, Minnesota; grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her sister-in-law, Angelina Junttila resides in Big Traverse and is the last remaining Junttila of her generation. She is also survived by sister-in-laws Joyce North and Joyce (Bohjanen) and brother-in-law, Mike Bourgeois.

The family wishes to thank everyone for their support and prayers, especially the nurses and staff at Brookridge Heights Memory Care, and the hospice nurses at UPHH. We appreciate everyone who will be remembering her in heir kindness and prayers.

Private family services will be held. Internment will be made in the Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Bay Cliff Health Camp, P.O. Box 310, Big Bay. MI 49808.
