Mark Stephen Denoble

Mark S. DeNoble, 63, Green Bay, passed away May 1, 2017, with family and friends by his side. Born April 24, 1954, he is the son of the late John and Leola (Cornell) DeNoble. He was a graduate of St. Joseph Catholic School and Ashwaubenon High School, earned a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay and a Master of Business Administration Degree from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh. He was proud to say he worked at Super Valu unloading trucks in his early days. He became a Supervisor at Schreiber Foods for many years until he began work at Hernke Foods in Hilbert. When Sargento Foods acquired Hernke Foods, he became part of the Sargento Foods family and managed the Kiel facility until his retirement. He met his future wife while they both worked at Schreiber Foods. He married Kathleen (Klopotic) DeNoble on May 19, 1979. Mark loved the outdoors and spent much time at their cottage in the Town of Stephenson near Boat Landing #9 on Caldron Falls Flowage. He was an avid deer and duck hunter and went on many trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He enjoyed his many yearly fishing trips to Canada. His Catholic faith was important to him and attending weekly Mass was a given. He had a beautiful voice and shared it by singing in the choir at both St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish and later at St. Mary Parish in De Pere. Mark also volunteered his time as President of the St. Mary / St. Francis Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul organization. Helping people was second nature to him. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and was a Boy Scout leader for many years. He loved all the camping, hiking and backpacking trips with Boy Scout Troop 1043 in De Pere. Above all, family meant the most to Mark. He was very close with his family and enjoyed spending time with them, supporting them and watching their successes. He was a great friend and mentor to many and will be missed dearly. Mark is survived by his wife Kathy of 37 (almost 38) years; two children, Adam DeNoble, Amber DeNoble-Hall (Michael Hall) (Neenah); three grandchildren, Wesley DeNoble-Winkel, Milo and Iver Hall, Ava Adams-Hall (Arizona); one brother, Vincent (Virginia Rae) Nicklas; one sister, LoAnn (Eugene) Hebel; aunt, Carol DeNoble (Texas) and many nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends.
