Minna was loved and admired by many of the people she touched in her active life. She was an avid biker, dedicated forest activist, longtime singer in the Stanford Chamber Chorale, green builder and craftswoman, founding member of the Stanford Organic Farm, and above all, a compassionate friend and loving human being. Minna inspired many of us as she biked across the country, built earthships in a sustainable community, got her hands dirty in the garden, sang, and took the time to listen to friends and family. While at Stanford she served as a docent for Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. Minna will be missed dearly by all who were blessed by her incredible presence.- Nina Robertson
