Minnie Jane Mackley

Minnie Jane Mackley, 87, of Coolidge, Arizona, passed away on March 28, 2025. Born on January 5, 1938, Minnie lived a life full of love, laughter, and connection. A classy lady with a heart of gold, she was known for her warm personality and her ability to make friends wherever she went—she never met a stranger.

Minnie was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, as well as a cherished sister. Her love for her family was evident in everything she did. She adored spending time with her five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, always eager to share their joys and accomplishments.

Minnie enjoyed life to the fullest. She was an avid sports fan, with a special fondness for attending Suns and Lakers games. A lover of country western music, she could often be found at concerts enjoying the lively atmosphere. But beyond her hobbies, it was Minnie’s ability to strike up a conversation with anyone that truly defined her. Her outgoing nature and kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

She is survived by her daughters, Patricia Lynn Sells (Fred) of Coolidge, Pamela Jane Norwalk of Casa Grande, and Penny Renee Bagnall (Thomas) of Coolidge; her siblings, Joyce Moore of Doniphan, Missouri, Sharon Johnson of Elsberry, Missouri, and Sue Stilwell of Doniphan, Missouri; five grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Jess and Clara Murray; her brother Glenn Edwin Murray and her sister, Emma Lee Stobaugh.

Minnie’s legacy of love and friendship will live on in the hearts of her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Graveside services will be held, Friday, April 4th, beginning at 10am at Heritage Valley Memorial Park.
