Herminia "Minnie" Briseno

Minnie was born on June 27, 1963 in Loraine, Texas to Reynaldo and Herminia Selvera. She was raised by her grandparents Enrique and Adella Castillo after her mother’s passing after she was born. After graduating high school, she married her husband Eloy Briseno on November 28, 1981 at the First Baptist Church of Colorado City, Texas. She then lived many different places such as Hawaii, Midland, and Round Rock. While her husband served in the military she stayed beside him moving each time he was transferred, until eventually settling in Hutto, Texas. Herminia worked for CPL Clinical Pathology Laboratories for 21 years as a Phlebotomist a job she thoroughly enjoyed.

She loved her family and was especially close with her siblings Yolanda and Reynaldo as they were also raised by her grandparents. Her pride and joy was her grandchildren who she was dedicated too. She loved the outdoors especially the beach, and was always ready to travel. She enjoyed fishing and cooking. Barbecuing was always something she enjoyed. She had many friends but her closest were the members of the Turtle Club, gathering together to socialize and have a goodtime. You could also rely on Minnie to be on time no matter where it was she was going, as timeliness was very important to her. Minnie and her Husband Eloy were members of the Catholic Church in Taylor where she proudly served as a Guadalupana.
