Minnie is now at peace with the Lord and with Mother Mary.
Above all, Minnie devoted herself to her husband and her family.

Minnie is further survived by her "sisters" Belma Niemi, Ella Blaha, Ethel Ziemke and other dear relatives.
Minnie worked hard her entire life from the time of her childhood, growing up on the Rib Lake farm of her cherished grandparents, Albert and Wilhelmina Ziemke, until she retired from service at Mt. Mary College. Minnie enjoyed painting, knitting, and fishing. She will be remembered as a woman possessing tremendous love, wisdom, strength and determination, who was always there for her family.
The family wishes to thank and acknowledge Minnie's second family, all the members of the staff of Luther Manor Health Care Center who touched her life everyday. On behalf of Minnie, Luther Manor's "flower lady," we express our sincerest appreciation for the care, respect, friendship, support and love you gave to her and to us.
