A true pillar of her community, Minga dedicated over 39 years of her life as an esteemed employee at Tyson until she retired. Known for her steadfastness and unwavering commitment to excellence, she was admired by colleagues and cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

While Minga possessed an extraordinary work ethic, her family held the most significant place in her heart. She adored spending quality time with her children and especially cherished the company of her beloved grandchildren. Her warm embrace and nurturing spirit made them feel safe, loved, and cherished each day.

Dancing brought immense joy to Minga's life as music filled the air. Her infectious energy would light up any room as she gracefully swayed to her favorite tunes. Minga also found comfort in starting her mornings with morning coffee while watching her treasured daytime talk shows and TV programs.

An avid lover of nature's beauty, Minga had a particular fondness for plants that adorned her surroundings. The vibrant color yellow held a special place in her heart, serving as a constant reminder of the vitality and resilience she carried within herself.
