Minnie was smart, strong, beautiful, loving, hard-working, and witty.

She was a member of Dickenson First Presbyterian Church in Sandlick since September 24, 1933. Minnie was devoted to her family, and she and Nelson made it a priority to spend time with their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. At their home, there was always good conversation, laughter, warm hugs, and a delicious meal on the table. Minnie enjoyed gardening, cooking, quilting, reading, hunting, fishing, and playing Setback. She also loved to watch NBA basketball and was a Chicago Bulls fan.
