Miriam 'Mim' (Seagren) Olson

Miriam (Mim) Olson passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon, May 12, 2024 (Mother's Day), with her son, Kurt, holding her hand. Mim was always smiling and had a fun, engaging way about her. She was an outgoing, joyous person who was well-loved. She will be missed by many.

Mim was born in 1928 in Chicago to a Swedish immigrant nurse mother and a Swedish Covenant minister. She grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where her father was a pastor. Mim's mother died of cancer when Mim was three, when her beloved young aunt came to care for Mim and her brother until her father remarried Mim's new mother. Mim moved to Minnesota in high school when her dad was called to the Covenant church in Buffalo. Mim attended North Park Junior College for two years and later graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene. She worked full-time as a dental hygienist until she had her first child and later resumed her career part-time until retirement. She worked for many years in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul. 

Through a Covenant Youth meeting in Colorado, Mim met Elwyn Olson, who later became a mechanical engineer with Honeywell.  Married in 1951, they made their home in Roseville, MN and had three children: Sally, Tim, and Kurt. They attended First Covenant Church of  Minneapolis until retirement, when they changed to Salem Covenant Church of New Brighton. Their family grew to include six grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. El died of cancer in 1998, so Mim had many years without him.

Mim enjoyed numerous activities. She was a singer who sang in several choirs. Mim started running in her 40s and won her age category in a few races. She enjoyed waterskiing until she was 80 and always relished family time at the “Stuga” (cabin) in Crosslake, MN. Because her mother was a Swedish immigrant who died young, Mim was inspired to become involved with the American Swedish Institute, where she served on the board for several years. 

Mim moved to Covenant Living of Golden Valley in 2012, where she enjoyed her last years living independently with some caregiving help. 

Mim's memorial service will be held at 11 AM on June 10 at Salem Covenant Church, 2655 5th St. NW, New Brighton, MN. There will be a visitation with the family one hour before the service. Memorials preferred to Covenant Living Golden Valley or the American Swedish Institute. There will be a private family burial at Fort Snelling National Cemetery with her beloved husband, El. Washburn-McReavy Funeral and Cremation Services handled logistics.


Timothy John Pabst

Pabst, Timothy John Age 71 of Marine on St. Croix. Died unexpectedly May 25th, 2024. Tim grew up on the East Side of St. Paul, the third of five children of his loving parents, Hank and Kay. He attended high school at St. Thomas Academy, earned his bachelor's degree in history as well as a master's degree in school psychology at the University of Minnesota, and graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law. Tim had a long and distinguished career as an attorney, dedicating more than thirty years to Leonard, Street and Deinard (later Stinson). There, he practiced corporate and trust and estate law, and served as member of the firm's Board of Directors and as Business Division Chair from 2002 to 2011. Throughout his time at the firm, Tim was a leader, mentor, and consistent friend. We will remember Tim most vividly for his spirit, his goofy sense of humor, and his unwavering devotion to those he loved. We respected his intellect and his integrity: many friends have reflected that he always did the right thing. He was a passionate supporter of the arts, an outdoorsman, a horse-racing enthusiast, a hockey fan, a golfer, a jokester, a dad, and a Papa. At his core, Tim was a relationship guy, appreciating every exchange, big and small, and every opportunity to connect. We trusted him and we were so proud of him. Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Kathryn. He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth (Michael Apers); son, Anthony "Killy" (Signe Steiner); granddaughter and light of his world, Tess; siblings, Hank, Mary Kay, Teri, and Julie; Dana Lindsay; and significant other, Terri Johnson. Many of us were lucky to call him an uncle, a godfather, a cousin, a neighbor, and a friend. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:00 AM Thursday, June 6th, 2024, with visitation 8:30-10:00 AM, all at the Church of the Assumption, 51 7th St. W, St. Paul. Private family interment at Oakland Cemetery, Marine on St. Croix. Should you wish to honor Tim by contributing to a cause near and dear to him, memorials may be made in his name to Children's Minnesota at give.childrensmn.org O'Halloran and Murphy 651-698-0796
