Ann Linderholm

Linderholm, Ann (Creighton)

age 91, of Minneapolis, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2024, surrounded by

family.

Ann was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on June 10, 1933, to John Creighton and

Mary Catherine Quinn. She was one of 12 children. Ann emigrated to Minnesota at the

age of 18 following her older sister, Mary. Ann worked as a secretary at the Bureau of

Engraving in downtown Minneapolis where she met the love of her life, Jerry

Linderholm. The two were married in 1956 and raised four children in South

Minneapolis.

Ann had beautiful red hair, boundless energy, and celebrated all things Irish - especially

Irish music and dancing. She and Jerry loved going to the Half Time Rec and the

Dubliner Pub in St. Paul to hear traditional Irish music. Ann would join friends and family

in Irish Ceili dancing while Jerry nursed a Guiness and socialized. Together they had a

lot of fun. After retirement, Ann was most happy spending time at her daughter Eileen's

Irish dance school helping teach the "wee ones," including her granddaughters, how to

dance.

Ann is preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Jerry Linderholm, and siblings:

Mary, James, Eileen, John, Frank, Pat, Margaret, Kathleen, Irene, and Helen. She is

survived by her children: Eileen, Tony, Therese (Mary Beth), and Sean (Denise);

grandchildren: Elaina (Jerome), Karissa (Jake), Seamus, and Connor (Amber);

greatgrandchildren: Jonathan, Abigail, Jackson, Annabelle, Brooke, Breanna, and

Wyatt; sister Angeline; and many loving nieces and nephews in the US and Ireland.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Mount Olivet Careview Home for the

compassionate care they provided to Ann these past 10 years.

Ann's wake will be at Bradshaw Funeral Home, 3131 Minnehaha Avenue South,

Minneapolis on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 4-8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial at St.

Albert the Great Catholic Church, 2836 33 rd Avenue South, Minneapolis, on Saturday,
