Jeann Laurel (Holmes) Fagerberg, age 70, of Sand Lake Twp, Burnett Co., WI, passed away Sunday morning, February 7, 2016. Jeann was born September 13, 1945, the daughter of Pastor Frank and Fern (Comerstead) Holmes. She grew up in the Falun area, attending schools in Siren. Jeann was united in marriage to Avery L.

Her last position was with Wal-Mart in Pine City, MN, as a Customer Service Representative. Jean retired in 2012, after working there for over twenty years. Jean was a very extraordinary, selfless woman. She was protective of her family, as they were her number one priority. She was a wonderful loving wife, mother and grandmother who will be missed tremendously. She is preceded in death by her parents; a brother, David Holmes; and a son, Jonathan Fagerberg. Jeann is survived by her husband, Avery; five children: Tammy Fagerberg, Kim (Rick) Frazier, Melissa Lewis (Matthias Stenberg) and Avery Fagerberg, Jr. (Leida Goyeneche); eleven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
