In loving memory of
Mina F. Davison Hinrichsen
August 30, 1918 - June 23, 2019
Mina F. Davison Hinrichsen, 100, of Maquoketa, Iowa, passed away quietly on Sunday evening, June 23, 2019, at Maquoketa Care Center in Maquoketa, Iowa.

Mina was born on August 30, 1918. Her parents were Marco and Edna (Dunn) Walker of Maquoketa, Iowa. She attended the Buckhorn School. She married Glenn Davison in March of 1936 in Maquoketa, Iowa. He preceded her in death in 1979. She later married Carl Hinrichsen in 1989 in Clinton, Iowa. He preceded her in death in 1993.
Mina worked at various jobs over the years. She farmed with her husband on their crop and livestock farm north of Maquoketa, was a salesperson at Max Ray's Jewelry Store and Gambles Department Store in Maquoketa and owned and operated Mina's Gifts in Bellevue. She loved helping others find just the right piece of jewelry or gift for that special occasion.
Mina had been a member of the Andrew Presbyterian Church where she was the church organist for many years. Additionally, she was a member of the Andrew Petal Pals, and a Sewing and Quilting Circle. She was a longtime volunteer at the Maquoketa Senior Center, where she earned the distinguished Iowa Governor's Award for volunteerism. She stayed active well into her nineties by riding the local RTA bus to attend and socialize at the center.
She enjoyed flower gardening, playing the organ, making quilts, crocheting, cooking, baking, ceramic dolls, and entertaining and hosting. She loved spending time with her family, especially when her son Chuck made breakfast for everyone, and she was more than happy to share all her pie and bread baking secrets with him.
Those left to honor Mina's memory include her children, Chuck (Barb) Davison of Maquoketa, IA, and Virginia Munson of Eagle Rock, MO; 7 grandchildren, Harley (Stephanie) Davison of Baldwin, IA, Carrie (Teagan) Rouse of Bettendorf, IA, Adam (Brittni) Davison of LaMotte, IA, Lisa (Bob) Hilbert of DeWitt, IA, Eric (Stacy) Travis of DeWitt, IA, Ron Munson of Cedar Rapids, IA, and Rich (Roxanna) Munson of Raleigh, NC; and 16 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Glenn and her husband Carl, infant daughter Barbara, a daughter Sheila Songer, a brother Phillip Walker, and a grandson Don Munson.
In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, a Mina F. Davison Hinrichsen memorial fund has been established.

"I knew Mina for many years through the Senior Center. She was an incredible woman with determination. If she had a mission she set out to accomplish it. We didnt always agree on every mission but we respected each other viewpoints. Loved this woman! She said many times that she was going to live to be 100. Another mission accomplished! The world was bless6to have a century of her in it. Prayers to all the family!"
"I will always remember holidays at Grandma/Grandpa's, sleigh riding, then coming in out of the cold and smelling that amazing food, Mom always sat on the hot air register, we would watch All Star Wresting with Grandpa, waiting for our belly's to settle to dive into her amazing pie and sherbert punch!!! Grandma always reminded me to make sure I pick up all the "jacks" after playing with them on kitchen floor so Grandpa didn't step on them.....ooppps, never been a good listener...Rest In Peace Grandma, love you!!!"
