Delores M. Holschuh

Mrs. Delores Marie Holschuh (nee: Kral) May 22, 1928 -- April 5, 2020 Delores (Dee) was born in Faribault, Minnesota, the third of four children to Ida and James Kral. Dee attended school in Hopkins, graduating in 1946. She was subsequently employed by Northwest National Bank, a job she recalled fondly all her life. In 1949, Delores married WWII veteran Omer Joseph Holschuh at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, in Minnetonka. The couple, who resided at times in Minneapolis, Barron (Wisconsin), and Hopkins, raised six children: Patricia, Michele, Suzanne, Omer (Skip), Mary, and Lynn. While it’s certainly true that Delores kept house in the traditional sense, she also served as her husband’s right arm handling bookkeeping, billing, and customer service for their trucking concern for over forty years. Upon their initial retirement Dee continued to stay involved in business running a ceramics studio for a time in a partnership with her daughter-in-law Katherine. In their golden retirement the Holschuhs enjoyed traveling widely around the United States and Europe, wintering in Arizona. Apart from homemaking (Man, could she sew and cook!) and various business endeavors Delores was a life-long member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Hopkins, where she sometimes coordinated Seniors dinners and occasionally assisted with communion at Senior Mass. Putting faith into action Delores (and Omer) joined others in charity work. Delores was active in such groups as The Women’s Auxiliary of the American Legion and The Veterans of Foreign Wars. She bowled and golfed in women’s and mixed league play, and kept up a robust correspondence with family and friends. Many lasting friendships sustained her: Margaret Solheid, Shirley Hardie, Jeanne Sheck, Evie Kerber, Marge Robinson, Lois Theis, and Myra Underdahl are but to name a few. She will be dearly missed. Delores was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, both parents, two brothers James and Richard, and her son. Family pooch Brutus fell somewhere in there, too. Surviving her is a sister Bernice, brother-in-law Tony, five daughters, a daughter-in-law, fifteen grandchildren, and twenty great grandchildren (with more on the way!). Delores will be remembered best by those who knew her as a loving wife, devoted mother, and faithful friend. The Family would like to thank all of Delores’ caregivers: The Glenn—Hopkins, Beacon Hill—Minnetonka, Elder Homestead—Hopkins, Chapel View—Hopkins, Washburn McReavy Funeral Home--Hopkins, St. Gabriel the Archangel-St Joseph Campus—Hopkins.
