Anna Marie Minner

Anna Marie “Nancy” Feenane Minner, born July 26, 1931, went home to the Lord on August 21, 2026, where she was reunited with her beloved husband and many long-lost loved ones.

Nancy was a devoted wife, mother, Mommom, sister, aunt, and friend. Family was her greatest pride and joy, and she leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Nancy grew up in Southwest Philadelphia and graduated from Bartram High School. In her early twenties, she met the love of her life, Frank H. Minner Jr., at a dance. They married and shared 48 wonderful years together until Frank’s passing on December 13, 2003.

Nancy is lovingly remembered by her three children: Frank H. Minner III and Maria, Michele Minner Rafetto and Ray, and Jeffrey Edward Minner and Marie; her beloved grandchildren , Brianna, Chelsea, Chad, Tyler, Michael, Alyssa, and Matthew; and her niece, Karen K. Stidham/Harvey; grand niece and nephew, Kelly/Chris O’Connor, Jimmy Stidham and their children, Brooke, Avery, Cammi and Mark. Later in life she was blessed with bonus grand children, Josh/Stephanie Garwood and Courtney/Stephen Tartaglia.

Nancy had a tender heart for children. After her own children went off to college and before her seven grandchildren arrived, she enjoyed many years working at the JCC preschool.

Nancy and Frank created countless wonderful family memories during the many summers they spent in North and South Bethany as well as Fenwick Island. She also fondly remembered the happy times she spent in Wildwood Crest as a child. When she was no longer able to make the trip to the beach, those warm memories remained in her heart and continued to bring a big smile of joy to her face.

A lifelong sports fan, Nancy loved following her grandchildren throughout their volleyball, baseball, basketball, and soccer careers. She was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Flyers and Eagles, as well as professional tennis. Nancy and Frank enjoyed season-tickets for both the Flyers and Eagles beginning in 1955, creating yet another wonderful chapter in their life together. They both have incredible memories of the Stanley Cup wins. Mom was blessed to live long enough to enjoy the Super Bowl victories.

Nancy treasured the many dachshund pups she had throughout the years, as well as all of her “grandpups.” Her youngest grand pup happens to be a five-month-old dachshund. Visits from her granddaughters and their dogs brought her pure joy.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and assistants at Rose Court at Maris Grove in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. The exceptional care Nancy received during her final months was truly extraordinary. She was treated with compassion, kindness, and dignity, as though she were their own mother. Special thanks go to Head Nurse Joy, Hospice Nurse Dawn, and Dr. Chang—truly angels on earth. The family could not have asked for anything more.

Nancy was predeceased by her beloved husband, Frank; her sister, Patsy; her favorite brother-in-law, Edward Krivinskis; her parents, Lillian and Edward Joseph Feenane; and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

As a longtime supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and because of her deep love for children and dogs, the family kindly asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or to your favorite charity supporting children or animals. Donation information can be found at www.stjude.org

A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held privately by her family.

Nancy’s greatest gift was the love she gave so freely to her family. She leaves behind generations of memories, stories, laughter, and love that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
