THE CASEY FAMILY IS HONORED TO BE ASSISTING AND CARING FOR THE FAMILY OF ROSA BLANCA MINA
WATERBURY - Rosa Blanca Mina, age 91, formerly of Waterbury, passed away peacefully on December 9th, 2020, at Waterbury Hospital after a brief illness.
Rosa was born November 7th, 1929, in Bogota, Colombia, the eldest of eleven and daughter of the late Eccehomo and Maria Inez Dominguez. Initially settling in New York City after arriving in the United States in 1959 with her then-husband Guillermo Mina and their four sons, then moving to Waterbury in 1967. One of the proudest moments in Rosa's life was when she became a US Citizen. Rosa worked as a machine operator for various companies throughout the greater Waterbury area, including Uniroyal, Timex, and Bendix Aerospace. She was an avid reader who enjoyed cooking for her family, knitting winter scarves, hats, giving them gifts (sometimes during the summer), and caring for her plants. Rosa especially enjoyed going on extended vacations to Colombia to spend time with her family.
Left to cherish her memories and honor Rosa's love and legacy are her three children, Manuel Mina, and his wife, Oezlem of Ruesselsheim, Germany. Daniel Mina and his life partner, Verzem Poveromo of Naugatuck, Jessica Mina, of Bristol, with whom she made her home and her former daughter-in-law, Paula Mina of Naugatuck. She is also survived by her siblings in Colombia, Luisa, Aura, Carlos, Flor, Vilma, Yolanda, Cristina, and Sandra Dominguez-Gomez, her ten grandchildren, Monica Jacobson, Jessica Mina-Knopp, Jennifer Mina, Christina Paniagua, Daniel Mina, Melissa Cromwell, Gabriel Mina, Hazal Mina, Jason Soto, and Alejandro Mina, thirteen great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Rosa was predeceased by three sons George Mina, Jose Mina, Mario Mina, and two brothers, Daniel and Hernando Dominguez-Gomez.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to Sue Chellis, Dr. Amjad, and their team at Waterbury Hospital for the care and compassion they have shared with Rosa and her family.
Services for Mrs. Mina will be held on Wednesday December 16th 2020 at Casey's Eastside Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 1987 East Main St. Waterbury, CT 06705 at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery. A walk-through visitation will be held from 9:00am until the time of the service at 11:00pm. All precautions required by state and federal agencies regarding COVID #19 will be strictly enforced. To honor Rosa's memory contributions to Saint Jude's Children's Research at www.stjude.org would be greatly appreciated by her family.
