Eleneta Quinn

Age 78, of Saint Anthony Village, MN, died peacefully November 8, 2017, at Langton Place, Roseville, MN.  Preceded in death by parents, Edward and Josephine Dickman; siblings,  Elaine Sahl (Raleigh), Eugene Dickman, Robert Dickman, Gerald Dickman, Donald Dickman, and Karen Edberg (John Hardie). Survived by husband Jim Quinn; sister Dorothy Mulert (Clarence); daughters Julie Quinn (Dan Nichols), Jean Quinn-Davis (Ross), Pat Dalton (Rick), Kathy Quinn (Rick Steele), Cheryl Quinn (Robert Buck); eight grand-children Sara Kosciolek (Peter Theissen), Trent Kosciolek, Erin Pronley (Matt),  Drew Naylor (Calli), Elizabeth Quinn-Davis, Rebecca Quinn-Davis, Katie Dalton, Jimmy Dalton; two great-grandchildren Kate and Mira Pronley; and many brothers-and-sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Nita spent her life working for several nonprofit social service agencies in the Twins Cities area including PRISM in Robbinsdale and TRUST in South Minneapolis. In their spare time Nita and Jim loved to travel; mainly camping all over the United States when the kids were young, but traveling the world later on.  They visited all the continents except Antarctica. However nothing made her happier than “one last family vacation”, especially when they included the grandkids.

A celebration of life will be held 11 - 3, Monday, November 27th with a short service at noon,  followed by a light lunch at Silverwood Park Visitor Center, 2500 County Road E, St. Anthony. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the nonprofit social service or environmental agency of your choice.
