Minnie befriended my Mom when they both became residents at Bastion LTC. She certainly was a bright light in everyone’s day! I hope they have continued their lovely chats up in heaven…
God must have needed another Angel in heaven we love you and miss you Minnie
Minnie was such a wonderful, loving, genuine person. I have many fond memories of her, especially from the days when Sandra and I were best friends growing up in Delta. Minnie helped teach me to drive (in that enormous car they had!), taught us how to make perogies and cabbage rolls, always had warm smiles, sage advice, and cheerful giggles. She had enormous strength to call on as she experienced the loss of Robert, Sandra, and Earl, and think of her back with them now, embraced by their love. It was a blessing to know her.
Minnie was loved by all that knew her. She and her husband Earl were great community members out in Silver Creek.
Minnie became a foster grandmother to a few children, my two children were blessed to know her, as well as I was.
