She leaves to cherish her memory her sisters Ora Lee Cummings of Mississippi and Georgia Macon of South Bend, IN. and her 4 brothers, Mayo (Alice) Cummings, Edward Cummings, Raymond Cummings all of Fort Wayne and Herman (Tornette) Cummings of Indianapolis and 3 siblings, who also preceded her in death, Selena Lewis, Rosetta Cummings and Tobe B. Smith.

Minnie will be cremated and her ashes spread over the Pacific Ocean per her wishes. No services will be held in Sacramento, CA. While a memorial will be held in her honor in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

 

 

  

Remembering her is easy

We will do it every day

But there's an ache within our hearts

That will never go away

Life holds so many facets

This earth is only one

Just think of her as only resting

From the sorrows and the tears

In a place of warmth and comfort

Where there are no days and years

Think how she must be wishing

That we could know, today

Now nothing but our sadness

Can really pass away

And think of her as living

In the hearts of those she touched

For nothing loved is ever lost

And she is loved so very much

Love always,

Your siblings
