She formally owned and operated a Dress Shop and there made many close and lifelong friends. Mrs. Minninger was a lifelong lover of music and was still enjoying voice and piano lessons. Becoming a member of the St. Gregory Chorale Choir at Jesus the Good Shepherd helped her to accomplish her life long dream, traveling to Rome with the choir and singing in numerous Cathedrals. One of her passions was visiting Holy Places such as cathedrals and was fortunate enough to visit several throughout Europe and sing in some. Mrs. Minninger was a member of the Quota Club and a former volunteer at St. Francis Medical Center. One of her many loves was spending time strolling through her yard guiding her beloved Johnny in the placing of many plants and flowers that adorned her yard. To all who knew her she was the epitome of a true southern lady. She enjoyed the time she spent with her granddaughter, Ashley, while attending graduate school at ULM. Being a good baseball mom she spent numerous hours at the ball park watching her four boys play and her husband coach them as well as her sons coaching her grandsons. Her greatest love was time spent with her family.
