Born in Nanticoke Hundred, Sussex County, Del., on June 28, 1922, she was the daughter of the late William Cyrus and Hattie Fleetwood.
Minnie and her husband lived in several states, transferring as her husband's job with Hercules required.

She is survived by her children, JoAnn Davis and her husband Glenn of Joplin, Miss., and James M. Short Jr. of Carthage; and several nieces and nephews living on the Delmarva Peninsula.
