Juliette Kathern McGraw Nolan lived nearly a full century, spanning eras from the final years of World War I through the digital age. Her long life reflects the stability, resilience, and deep family loyalty characteristic of mid‑century Minnesota families. Through her marriage to James “Bud” Nolan, she became part of the second generation of the Minnesota Nolans — a family defined by humor, closeness, and strong Irish‑Catholic roots.
Juliette’s presence extended well beyond Bud’s passing, and she remained a beloved figure within the extended Nolan family for decades.
Born in 1918, entering adulthood during the Great Depression and World War II.
Married James “Bud” Nolan, joining two long‑established Minnesota families — the McGraws and the Nolans.
Raised two sons, Timothy and Robert “Bobby”, continuing the Nolan line into the modern era.
Lived to the remarkable age of 94, witnessing nearly every major transformation of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Remembered for her steadiness, warmth, and lifelong connection to the Nolan relatives.
Juliette and Bud built a family rooted in Minneapolis and the surrounding communities. Their home became one of the central branches of the Nolan–Crombie lineage, with strong ties to siblings, cousins, and extended relatives.
Their sons — Timothy and Bobby — carry forward this branch of the family.
Juliette rests at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Minneapolis, alongside her husband Bud and many members of the Nolan, Crombie, Sexton, and related families. Her burial there places her firmly within the core ancestral landscape of your lineage.
