She will be missed by not only her family but also by her many friends, even those who now live many miles away, but remember her with fondness.

Mrs. Mingo there are no words to say but wonderful woman. I will remember all the wonderful things she did for my family. She was good friend with my grandparents and when we came alone she welcomed us with open arms. She always had a beautiful garden. The flowers she took care of year to year were wonderful. She gave me some daisy to plant up north and ever year when they come up I think of her. My dad love coming home from a short trip up north to find a box of fresh tomatoes on the porch, or jars of stewed tomatoes that she would leave for him. She was a very independent woman that was never afraid of hard work. She was loved by so may people and will be missed. I still look over at her house and see her cleaning out her gutters, cutting her grass, shoveling the snow, weeding her garden and getting her mail. She was amazing role model. Thank you Mrs. Mingo you will be missed.
