A public visitation is now scheduled for this weekend for hockey journalist Jessi Pierce and her three children, who died Saturday in a house fire.
Mueller Memorial says it will host a public visitation from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.on Sunday in White Bear Lake.
The White Bear Lake Fire Department says Pierce, 38, and her three kids, 8-year-old Hudson, 6-year-old Cayden and 4-year-old Avery, were found dead after their home caught fire. The cause remains under investigation but the department says there is no indication the blaze was intentional.

A GoFundMe for Mike Hinrichs, Pierce’s husband and the father of the three children, has raised more than $200,000.
On Thursday, Mike and the Hinrich family released a statement for the first time since the fire, writing:
“We are completely devastated at the tragic loss of Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery Hinrichs. We have lost a beautiful wife, daughter, sister and friend in Jessi, and three amazing children who were the light of our lives, Hudson, Cayden and Avery, whose lives were all taken too soon.
“We thank everyone for the extraordinary amount of love and support during this difficult time. From the fire departments and first responders to the White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi communities to the Minnesota Wild, the NHL, local hockey communities, and the nationwide support, we are grateful for the outpouring of compassion we have received.
“We ask for continued privacy during this extremely difficult time as we grieve this unthinkable loss.“
In the days since the tragedy, there has been a wave of tributes and memorials honoring Pierce and her kids. She was well-known in the hockey community, covering the Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Frost, co-hosting the “Bardown Beauties Podcast,” making frequent appearances on “Judd’s Hockey Show” and SKOR North, and appearing at many other local events while contributing to NHL.com for 10 seasons.
A concert aimed at helping people deal with grief and sadness was held in White Bear Lake earlier this week as the community continues to mourn their loss.
