Unexpectedly on June 10, 2025, of Oaklyn, NJ, formerly of Fairview, NJ. She was 86 years old.

Mina was a graduate of Misericordia Nursing School before dedicating 50 years of service as a registered nurse. She spent 35 of those years at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, NJ. She was also a past parishioner of St. Joan of Arc Parish in Fairview and more recently a parishioner of Sacred Heart Parish in Camden.
Mina was caring, quick-witted and the kind of person who made everyone feel loved. She was a devoted nurse, a joyful presence and our biggest fan. She loved her family with her whole heart and found so much joy in the simple things: her garden, a good book and a festive Christmas season.
