Mina loved dancing and singing along to her favourite music. She was known for her positive outlook, chatty conversations, kind laugh, and quick wit. She entertained her family with her endless stories and impressive memory of life.
She is now at peace, reunited with her husband Daniel and son Stewart, whom she dearly missed.

Posted on: Friday, July 12, 2024We were deeply saddened to hear of Mina’s passing. Mina was my Mum’s oldest friend, having met only days after our arrival in Canada in 1966. Her wit and sense of humour will live on through her son Kevin. Our deepest condolences go out to the family during this difficult time.

We loved chatting about the “old days” in Greenock, she had a fantastic memory of those days, and dancing at “Cragburn” where she met Dan.
Happy days, Stewart and Stewart.

So very sorry to hear the sad news from Brennan.
We are so very happy for you that you were able to move your mother closer to you all a few years ago. Unfortunately as life goes on we all come to this time and it is not easy but just know all your friends are close at hand ready to be there for you

Posted on: Saturday, July 27, 2024Kevin, Ross and family, I’m sorry to hear about Mina. Canada will not be the same when I visit Dot. I will miss Mina and her many stories of when she used to visit our mum and dad (Helen and Duncan) when we were little. Great memories will live with me forever. Thinking of you all at this very sad time. R.I.P. Mina.
