Jack Vincent Bobeng
September 30, 1928-June 9, 2026
The family of Jack Vincent Bobeng is saddened to announce his passing on 9 June 2026 in Holland, Michigan.
Jack was born in Chicago in 1928 to Jacob and Rosamond Bobeng and spent much of his life in the Chicago area.
Jack met his wife-to-be, Barbara Brehm, when they were freshmen at York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois. They married in 1950, just a few months before Jack left for service in the Army, stationed in Germany. Being in the Army made a lasting impression on Jack, and his service was something he was always proud of having accomplished.
Returning home, Jack first worked at the Chicago Tribune and then in sales for a photo products company. His job moved them to Convent Station, New Jersey, and then to Atlanta, Georgia, where they spent many happy retirement years.
Jack and Barbara were active members of Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church of Sandy Springs, Georgia, for over 30 years. Jack served as head usher for much of that time. Their closest friends were members of the church.
Jack’s hobbies included stamp collecting from childhood, golfing, running, coin collecting, square dancing, playing drums and listening to music, reading, tailgating at Atlanta Falcons football games and loving several family dogs.
Jack was married to Barbara for 69 years and looked forward to the time they would be reunited, as she passed in 2019. Jack is survived by his daughters, Katherine Hankins (Terry) and Barbara Moreau (William); his son, Jack Bobeng (Claudia); seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life service is planned for a later date in Atlanta. Memorials can be made to Shriners International or Wounded Warriors.

Karen Marie Hildreth, age 71, of Grand Haven, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at Robbinswood Assisted Living.
She was born on August 7, 1954, in Grand Haven, Michigan, to the late Eugene and Leona (Boyk) Baumgart. Karen married Daniel Hildreth on September 19, 1987, on the Harbor Steamer Boat in Grand Haven.
He preceded her in death on June 11, 2017, almost nine years to the date of her passing, after sharing 30 years of marriage.
Karen graduated from Grand Haven High School, Class of 1972. She was a longtime member of St. Patrick - St. Anthony Parish and a lifetime resident of Grand Haven. A memory that her brother, Allen shared was drag racing her 1972 Camaro up and down Beechtree St. with her classmates.
Karen enjoyed going to the property up north and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. A favorite pastime that Dan and Karen both enjoyed was sitting in their garage for hours, catching up with their neighbors and friends.
Karen loved her daily dose of Diet Coke, strawberry sundaes, and having a Tip-A-Few burrito on Mother's Day, along with a bouquet of pink carnations. Her music choices in the earlier days were Kenny G. and Enya. She had a sharp sense of humor and always kept others laughing. She loved to find a good deal while shopping at JCPenney and Kohl's.
After moving into Robbinswood in 2018, Karen got a motorized scooter. She would proudly cross the busy road without checking traffic either way to visit D&W for her favorite Frappuccino.
Karen will be lovingly remembered and missed by her daughters, Erica (Jason) Meyer of Spring Lake and Sara (Jason) Heathcott of Nashville, Tennessee; her son, Bryan Hildreth of Grand Haven; step-daughter, Jillian Bender (Jeremy) of Ferrysburg; six grandchildren, Avalyn Meyer, Harper and Hayden Heathcott, Caleb (Samantha) Stratton, Dakota (Kaitlyn) Mathews, and Grace Hildreth; her brother, Allen Baumgart of Grand Haven; sisters-in-law, Melodee Baumgart; Connie LaFrance (Steve) Jones; Kathy (Fred) Sanford, and Cindy (Larry) Jackman; brothers-in-law, Don Heinz and Larry (Gloria) Hildreth; as well as several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at Robbinswood Assisted Living for their loving care of Karen over the years she resided there, along with the staff at Trinity Health at Home Hospice of Grand Haven, for all the comfort she received. Kim Gillard was a special friend and caregiver to Karen for many years and took in Bella when Karen moved into Robbinswood.
Private family services will take place.
