Friends, We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Miriam “Mimmi” Nina Esdale-Ödman on 29 June 2025. Mimmi was a pivotal figure in the Irish community of Luxembourg and served as a long-time member, treasurer, vice president and event organiser of the Irish Club of Luxembourg. Many of us will fondly remember her caring nature, can-do attitude, and vibrant spirit. In March 2025, and despite ill health, Mimmi again demonstrated her leadership and dedication by taking the helm of Team Ireland at Relais Pour La Vie. Her passion and commitment was truly inspiring, leading the team to raise significant funds for the fight against cancer. Mimmi was captain of Team Ireland for twenty years. She organised a Children’s Christmas Party for many years in the Black Stuff , Luxembourg. She will be remembered as an actress and as president of Round Tower Players bringing her talent and humour to the stage over many productions. We extend our deepest condolences to her beloved husband Svante, son Sigurd, daughter Ashleen, son in law Renaud, daughter-in-law Anna, granddaughters Charliee and Minoo and all her extended family. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and those she inspired over the years. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.
