I have many wonderful memories of Minnie having had the pleasure of meeting her through Avon. Minnie gave me a slip from her beautiful orchid cactus over 20 years ago and each time it blooms, I think of her. She was of great character and I adored her strength and hugely valued her honesty. My condolences to her family. Natalie

Age difference doesn't count in friendship. I had a very meaningful friendship with Minnie for many years. We had many good talks, laughs, and hugs and I will treasure my afghans she made me over the years to remember her by. I think she had to correct my grammar a time or two which made her happy. There will only be one Minnie and I will miss my special friend. My deepest sympathy to her family at this sad time. Thinking of you all. Conny Hertz

My deepest sympathy to the Blair family at this time. Minnie was an exceptional woman. I am grateful for her support and thoughtfulness during my two years of teaching at Sedalia School. She was a 'one-of-a-kind' person. Minnie will be remembered with respect for her devotion toj family, service to the community, honesty and a life well-lived. I feel honoured to have known her.

I got to know Minnie through my late husband, Roger. Minnie and Roger had a special relationship. I recall Roger telling me he would, on occasion, show up at Minnie’s door at about 11:50am with a cabbage under his arm expecting her to cook it for him and, of course, she always did. Since cabbage takes awhile to cook, this would give them plenty of time for their treasured chats and debates. They loved to argue a point. I also remember Minnie trying to adjust her biscuit recipe so she could make them with spelt flour as Roger no longer ate regular flour. She was never happy with them but they really were very good. I truly appreciate Minnie keeping in touch with me after Roger’s passing and will miss our visits. I, too, have one of Minnie’s afghans and will cherish it. Love and blessings to Minnie’s family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Cherish the wonderful memories. My Mom (Beth Barnett) always enjoyed Minnie’s visits and phone calls. I enjoyed visiting with Minnie when I came home to Oyen to visit Mom. Minnie gave me a couple of her Afghans which I will cherish. We will miss Minnie.

I really only got to know Minnie as a resident of the Oyen Lodge - during my visits to Mom and Dad. Whenever I was there, Minnie would always come over to say hi and we’d have a visit. She would ask about me, my husband and my son - her questions and responses were always sincere, kind - her interest was absolutely genuine. I loved her directness and confidence. I spoke with her briefly prior to Dad’s bday (Jan 8/21). She was a bit tired and voiced that she wanted to send him a message, but could I call her back in a couple of days, giving her time to think about what she would say. I called her back, this was her message to Dad, “A very, very Happy Birthday Ralph. You’ve done well to reach 90. I wish you well”. “Rest In Peace dear Minnie, we wish you well.” Love and Hugs to your Family ♥️

My memories of my dear friend, special mom and grandma Minnie. Minnie told you as she saw it and what she thought. I will cherish the many phone calls for birthdays and anniversary wishes. Minnie came across a little crusty but those of us who love her, knew the generosity of Minnie and when she gave you advice it was given to help and guide. Minnie didn’t want any special attention and I loved surprising her with a birthday, Mother’s Day and Christmas card or gift. Rest In Peace my friend, you will be missed.
