She was born to Lafayette “Fay” and Dora Hamilton on Dec. 23, 1934, in Quapaw, Okla. In 1949, she met William “Clare” Mapes and they married Dec. 24, 1949, in Coeur d’Alene. They resided in Kellogg, Idaho, until 1962, when they moved to Poulsbo, Wash., when Clare went to work at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. After Clare’s retirement in 1985, they built a home in Plummer, Idaho, where they lived until 1996, when they moved to Lewiston. After Clare’s passing, she moved in with her son, Robert, in 2011.

Minnie enjoyed reading and mystery movies.
