Jenny Wiederholt-Pine

Jenny Wiederholt-Pine, age 44 of Hastings, died suddenly but peacefully at Regina Medical Center on Saturday morning, February 8, 2025.

Jennifer Lee, the daughter of Charles and Cheryl (Thiel) Wiederholt, was born in Red Wing, Minnesota, on November 7, 1980. Jenny grew up living in Miesville and graduated from Hastings High School with the class of 1999. She then continued her education at Winona State University where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing with a Minor in Spanish. Jenny was immediately hired by Blue Cross Blue Shield, until later working with the team at GMAC. In 2013, Jenny and Mike opened Onyx Benefit Advisors, a comprehensive employee benefit firm that was based in Bloomington. Jenny built this into a successful agency that specialized in health risk management and wellness plans. In 2016, they sold the agency to Krause-Anderson Insurance where Jenny continued to be a top-producing agent until her unexpected passing.

On February 19, 2008, Jenny was united in marriage to her husband, Michael "Mike" Pine, on the beach in Fort Myers, Florida. Together, they built their agency, became fourth-generation owners of Wiederholt's Supper Club along with her brother Jesse and wife, Becky, and raised three beautiful children, Courtney, Chase, and Colin. All throughout her life, Jenny's love for horses never ended, and for this dedication and commitment, she was to be awarded as the top rider of her class in the 2024 Saddle Circuit of the North Central Reining Horse Association at the end of this month.

Outside work and spending time with family and friends, Jenny dedicated countless hours giving back to the community. From many years as a soccer coach, to being an instrumental part of the ISD 200 School Board, and beyond, Jenny's dedication to the Hastings area left an impact that will forever be remembered.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Sylvester Wiederholt; maternal grandparents, Ed and LaVerne Thiel; uncles, Gary, Jim, George, and Gordy; and by her niece, Kristina.

Jenny is survived by her husband, Mike; children, Courtney, Chase, and Colin; parents, Charlie and Cheryl Wiederholt; brother, Jesse (Becky) Wiederholt; paternal grandmother, Harriet Wiederholt; father-in-law, Bill Pine; mother-in-law, Barb (Ron) Allen; and by countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends that truly meant the world to Jenny.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Miesville, with Father Michael Tix officiating.
