James Mimnaugh

MIMNAUGH James "Peter" Mimnaugh, age 69, passed away Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Peter was born in Portchester, New York, son of the late Joseph and Beatrice Mimnaugh. U.S. Army Veteran. Attended Spring Hill College. Peter was a member of St. Agatha Catholic Church for 31 years where he served as a Eucharistic Minister and was a member of the Serra Club of Columbus. Peter was a man with a dynamic personality. He loved to talk, was a keen listener, and had the ability to make people feel at ease, as if they had known him for years. Very proud of his Irish ancestry, Peter was the true patriarch of his family. He enjoyed family reunions, Thanksgiving trips back to the east coast, but most of all, he enjoyed spending time and sharing stories with his wife, children, grandchildren, and siblings. His abilities as a caregiver were not just for his family, but shared throughout the entire community.
