in 1992. She was extremely devoted to Sal, the second love of her life. They 
traveled, camped, took walks on the beach, they were inseparable. Minnie 
retired from the Bakersfield City School District after 17 years of service. 
She also worked for Hancock Fabric Store. She was a member of the Community

fact that her daughter, Christine, inherited her passion for sewing. Minnie 
was the original Martha Stewart and she was always happy to share her 
expertise on sewing, arts, crafts, cooking and gardening. Her greatest passion 
was caring for her family, which she did until the very end. Minnie went home
