Before retiring, she was employed as a Sales Associate with the former Cherry & Webb in Lowell.
Among her many activities, Mineera enjoyed cooking, traveling and frequent trips to Foxwoods Casino. She spent her summers at the family home in Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. But the one thing would always thoroughly brighten her day was spending quality time with her grandson Robbie.
