Jeffrey M. Holmberg

Jeffrey Miles Holmberg passed away on Friday, January 16, 2026. Jeff and his wife, Patti, have made their home in White Haven since 1972.

Born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Jeff was the son of the late Edwin and Martha Holmberg. He was a graduate of Pocono Mountain High School, Class of 1972. Jeff was deeply committed to serving others throughout his life. Beginning in the 1980s, Jeff volunteered with the White Haven Ambulance, serving for many years as an EMT(Emergency Medical Technician) and later as a member of its Board of Directors. He had a love for the outdoors and especially enjoyed hunting and skiing.

Jeff and Patti were devoted foster parents who lovingly cared for more than 100 children over the years, opening their home and hearts to those in need. His dedication to youth extended further through his service on the Luzerne County Youth Aid Panel, where he mentored and guided children with compassion and patience.

A skilled craftsman, Jeff was a custom home builder and a true carpenter at heart. In addition to operating his own home building business, he led teams on multiple mission trips to Romania, where they helped build an orphanage—work that reflected his faith, generosity, and lifelong commitment to improving the lives of others.

Jeff will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and the countless young lives shaped by his quiet generosity and service.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 53 years, Patti J. Holmberg; children, Jocelyn (Donald) Lunney of White Haven, Jason Holmberg of Coudersport, Erica Holmberg of White Haven, Heidi Holmberg of White Haven, Cassandra Holmberg of White Haven, and Sierra Holmberg of Pittsburgh; grandchildren, Evan Miles Lunney, Allison Elizabeth Lunney, Ava Rose Lunney, Jacob (Rebekah) Holmberg, Isabella Holmberg, and Jesse Holmberg; siblings, Nancy (Jack) Staton of Naperville, IL, Marsha (Zac) Zimmerman of Denver, NC, Kenneth Holmberg of White Haven, Beth Ann (Doug) Argot of Deanville, TX, Eileen (Thomas) Mulhearn of Freeland, Lori Holmberg of Bloomsburg; and many nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death were two brothers, Francis and Edwin, along with his daughter-in-law, Mary Esther Holmberg.
