She is preceded in death by spouses, parents, her only sister, and one grandchild. The family wishes to thank all her good friends throughout the years, all of the neighbors who have helped, and all her employers who have been so kind. She was born in Newton, KS, to Jessie E. , on Monday, March 5, 2012, at Memorial Funeral Home in Columbia, MO. Mina was an active woman and involved in her community.
