Minnie sewed beautifully, was a resourceful cook and had the greenest thumb in the county. Her lawn and flowers were always the prettiest in the neighborhood. Eventually she became interested in wildflowers and enjoyed many excursions to find and transplant wildflowers - which always thrived without ever wilting. Tragedy was no stranger to Minnie. She lost her husband and her father in the same month. Five years later, her son Robert was killed in a military plane crash. Another son, Bill, died suddenly. Minnie became seriously ill in 1980. She lived with her daughter in Tullahoma, TN until her death in 1992. Through-out all difficulties, her self- determination and positive attitude have been an inspiration to all who knew her.
