Noel George Biebl

Noel Biebl, age 83, of White Bear Township, MN, passed away peacefully on April 21, 2026. Noel was born on October 16, 1942, to Howard and Blanche, and grew up in Gibbon, MN, surrounded by the comfort of small‑town life and his loving parents and two younger siblings. As the son of a pharmacist and general store owner, he spent part of his youth helping in the family store-learning the meaning of serving a community. He excelled in school and in athletics, but what stayed with him most were the simple joys of his Gibbon roots. Those early memories-neighbors who felt like family, childhood friendships -remained some of his deepest sources of joy in his life. Noel attended the University of Minnesota, where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering and met the love of his life, Jan Jensen. They married in 1966, just before he entered the U.S. Navy and served in Vietnam as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. After his military service, Noel began his career at Paper Calmenson & Co., overseeing the raw steel manufacturing division. He later joined Laser Machining in Somerset, WI, where he served as President until his retirement. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Noel shared 60 extraordinary years with Jan-a marriage rooted in friendship, laughter, and an unwavering devotion that shaped every chapter of their lives. His greatest joy was his family, whom he surrounded with endless love, steady encouragement, and quiet wisdom. Noel found delight in so many things: golfing, summers at the lake, history, engineering, tinkering in his shop, inventing, trivia nights, coffee with the guys, family gatherings, long‑held traditions, and sharing stories with friends old and new. Noel had a brilliant mind paired with a tender, generous heart, and the impact he left on those who knew him is immeasurable. Noel is preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Blanche Biebl; his sister, Holly Pierce; and his granddaughter, Rachel Biebl. He is survived by his devoted wife Jan; daughter Kristen (Eric) Lundquist; son Jeff (Maggey) Biebl; granddaughters Lindsey and Cameron Biebl, Nicole Lundquist; grandson Austin Gregory; brother Jonathon (Laura) Biebl; brother‑in‑law Bill Pierce; nephew Michael (Renea) Biebl; nieces Katherine (Ben) Duckworth, Jennifer (Noel) Danielson, and Abby (Matt) Skarupa; cousins Richard (Karen) Peterson, Jane (Ed) Ridnour, and several great‑nieces & nephews, extended family and many dear friends. A celebration of life will be held on May 27, 2026, at Roseville Lutheran Church, with visitation at 10 a.m. and service at 11 a.m. A private interment will follow at a later date at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the charity of your choice in Noel's honor.
