Minnie brought joy and happiness to all who knew her. She filled any room she entered with her loving spirit. she touched the lives of many with her loving sweet compassionate spirit. We will surely miss the home cooked meals as well as calling to have her talk you through cooking one of her tasty recipes. The hearts of many children were touched by her loving kindnesses Minnie shared with them. All children felt at home at "Me-Me's" house. Minnie and Lonnie had a special fondness for Tevin whom they nicknamed "T-bone". She treasured all her moments with Tevin, the light of her life.

Minnie loved the Lord and although her body was frail she never stopped making her way to be in the Church whether at the nursing home or riding on the church van to God's Tabernacle for Believers.

She is and will forever be missed but her legacy will live on for generations to come.
