Mina came to Brevard County in 1990 from Cleveland, Ohio. She worked as a Manager at Burrough’s Machine Corporation and in later years was a real estate professional. She is a former member of Suntree United Methodist Church.
Mina married Ralph Jones in 1942. They had one daughter, Judith, but due to tragic circumstances, Mina was left to raise Judith alone together with her parents, Amy and Phil Russell.
Mina is survived by her daughter, Judith Thomas; John Comerford (Kathy), Tim Comerford (Cindy), Catherine Cast (Mike), and Carolyn Comerford. She also has several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by Ralph Jones, J. William Comerford, Patrick Comerford and Brian Comerford.
Mina was truly one of God’s angels. In the 1960’s, she married J. William Comerford, a man with six children, raising and loving them as her own, making sure to be the Mom they needed. She was a beautiful, loving and devoted person, helping anyone in need. It has been said that she never met a stranger! She was a fiercely loyal, determined and independent person but unfortunately, after a wonderful 90th birthday celebration, her age began to catch up with her, resulting in a broken hip and fractured leg which meant she could no longer live on her own. For the past several years, she resided at Palm Cottages Assisted Living Facility where she received excellent care. She enjoyed the many activities that were offered and made many new friends. She would want to be remembered for her favorite passage from the “The Way of Life” which says “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, let me do it NOW, for I shall not pass this way again.”
The family would like to thank the entire staff at Viera Hospital and especially Dr. Dana of Hospice and Dr. Prasad, her cardiologist whom she adored.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to The Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (Central Florida Chapter) 270 Center Pointe Circle, #1154, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701, or a charity of your choice.
