Mark Biel Obituary
May 8, 1956 - November 29, 2024
Madison - Mark Biel passed away at his home on November 29, 2024, at the age of 68 years old. He is preceded in death by his late wife, Colleen Luhm; his parents, the late John Biel and the late Shirley (nee Cohen, Biel) Krauss; and his sister, the late Margery Biel.
