Minnie was employed by Ethicon, Inc. in San Angelo, Texas for many years, a job she loved and where she made many lifelong friends.

Mom was the “Rock” for nine children, and despite her large family, Mom always made time for each of her children.  She provided support and love for her family.

Minnie is survived by her three sons, Joe Arzate, Danny Diaz (Argelia) and Julian Diaz (Oneida), five daughters, Eva Medrano, Anita Lopez (Joe), Isabel Jones (William), Christine Martinez and Irma Aguilar.  Minnie is also survived by 33 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.
