Christine Mingo

Christine Mingo Christine "cricket" Mingo passed away peacefully on December 10, 2018, surround by herfamily. She will be remembered by her beautiful smile, heartfelt laugh, and encouraging words. Christine shared an aspiring love with her husband, Donald Mingo JR, for 26 years. She was a truly inspiring mother to Alyssa, Lexie, Destinee and Donald III, and we will remember how hard she worked along with her husband to give them the best life they could, and boy, did they do a good job. She is survived by her brother, Brad, her two sisters, Brandi and Monique, her mother-in-law, Maggie, and grandfather, Fred. She was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2014. However, she did not let projected timelines define her journey. She fought hard, beat the odds and left a lasting impression on everyone she came in to contact with. Her nurses and doctors often commented on how she navigated her journey with cancer with kindness, determination and her willful spirit. Let alone that beautiful smile. She inspired everyone she met with her positive mindset and motivating words. She was given cancer, but she gave the family the gift of closeness and taught us the importance of being together. She enriched all of our outlook on life and helped us find the beauty in everything that life gives us: the ups and downs. Christine would like us all to celebrate her journey, to embrace each day that we have; and to LOVE LIFE.
