Beatrice J. Nisen

Beatrice "Bea" Nisen (Kianka) age 77, passed away on November 10, 2025, at her residence in Boise, Idaho with her daughter Michelle Nisen at her side, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Bea was born on January 1, 1948, in New Jersey to the late Olga Kianka (Papai) and Joseph Kianka. Bea worked many jobs, but being a Certified Nurse Assistant later in life was her passion and she did it for many years, until she retired. Bea loved being with family, friends and fur babies. She enjoyed good food and browsing at the store. She loved the ocean and her Catholic Faith. You would often find her holding her rosary beads or prayer books praying.

Bea is preceded in death by her parents Olga Kianka (Papai) and Joseph Kianka, her Son Joseph Nisen and her brother Kenneth "Junebug" Kianka.

She is survived by one brother, Jude Kianka; her daughters, Michelle Nisen and Francine (Doug) Brown, Son Michael (Robin) Nisen; Grandchildren: Brittany Brown, (Derek Dundas), Ashley Nisen, Skyler (Layken) Nisen, Michael Jr. Nisen, Dougles Jr. Brown, Dustin Brown, Jayden Nisen, Casey (Connor) Festag and Tiffany Nisen.

Great Grand Children: Wynter Nisen, Freddy Nisen, Dante Dundas, Daxton Dundas, Cashton Jeffs, Callum Festag and Alaya Nisen. She has several more family members and friends in NJ, NY, PA, UT, TX and ID.

At Bea's request there will be no formal service, but she wants to be brought back to New Jersey (Home). Her daughter Michelle will ensure her wishes are fulfilled, with a celebration of life as well.
