Mildred “Middie” Julia (Holt) Noltee passed away on Thursday June 30th, 2022, at Samaritan Bethany with her daughter and her loving niece Stephanie Garness by her side.
Middie was born to Clarence and Margaret (Smith) Holt in Salem Township. She and her family lived in this Salem Township area prior to moving to Stewartville, MN where she attended school. After graduating high school, she moved to Rochester where she raised her daughter and worked at various retail and waitressing jobs. In 1974 she was hired at Mayo Clinic as a Pulmonary Function Technician, which turned into her life career and retired 31 years later.
In 1985 Middie married Clifford “Cliff” Noltee. They had so much fun over the years enjoying camping, going for drives, and spending time with friends out and about, until Cliff’s passing in 2018. Middie loved her daughter Denise with all her heart and would often refer to her as “her baby”. She also absolutely adored her grandsons Benjamin and Colbe; they were the light of her life.
She is survived by her daughter, Denise (Holt) Kinyon; son-in-law, Patrick Kinyon; grandsons, Benjamin and Colbe Kinyon; stepsons, Randy and Clifford Jr. Noltee; stepdaughter, Kelly Mabrier; stepdaughter-n-law, Debbie Noltee; several step-grandchildren; brother, Robert (Linda) Holt of Byron MN; brother-in-law, Dennis “Denny” (Karen) Noltee; sister-in-laws, Gloria Holt of Rochester, Sharon Holt of Radisson WI; and an abundance of niece and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Cliff; stepson, Kenneth Noltee; brothers, John, Ernest, Joseph, Dale, Clarence Jr.; and sisters, Deloris “Loie” Holt and Lorraine Holt.
