Ms. Waleen Jean Minster

She briefly attended Mountain View College, where she studied Spanish for non-native speakers. And retired from a career of property management.

Waleen's hobbies included reading, going to church as religion was very important to her, spending time with her family and helping others. She relished in any opportunity to help anyone who asked. She would have truly given the shirt off of her back for someone.

Waleen was part of St. Michael's church in Grand Prairie, Texas where she attended mass as often as possible. And she was part of the Mom Squad, a group of mom's who planned and attended events and were each other's companions.

Waleen's greatest achievement in life was her family, ever growing. And her 14 most precious grandbabies. Her children and grandchildren were her entire world.

The family would like to thank Anita, the nurse at Baylor Scott & White who resuscitated Waleen with CPR after 15 minutes of her being unresponsive on 11/17. Also, the staff at Baylor and KPC Promises Hospitals. Her internist, Dr. Ana Mercau, who took such great care of Waleen for over a decade. And to all those who have sent flowers, checked on the family and have sent their condolences.

Please note that the family kindly asks that all attendees wear all black from head to toe. This is what Waleen wanted.
