Anyone who knew Minnie loved her. Minnie was a great mother who was loving to her children. She owned and ran an electronics repair business.

She would bake many pies for the Jamboree event it held annually. Minnie and Frank went to clown school together. She was Tutti-Frutti and he was Bobo.
Minnie may best be known for her cooking. Being Italian, she loved with food. Every Christmas Minnie and Frank would host Christmas dinner at their house for anyone who came. They would easily serve 200 people. It was an all day affair. Minnie will be missed by all whose life was touched by her.
