A lot of laughs were shared Nov. Ruth Ann Minner.
Speaking in the Milford Church of the Nazarene, Gov. John Carney recalled attending the Milford Halloween parade inwhen Minner ran for governor and he ran for lieutenant governor. Carney got some laughs when he shared a story about former Gov. Jack Markell, who stopped in at the Milford Wawa before the funeral.
While there, Carney said, a man asked Markell whether he was the former governor, and Markell said yes. She was also tough, Carney said, recalling how Minner used to refer to him as her lieutenant governor.
But she was also warm and kind, especially when it came to her family. Tom Carper, who was governor when Minner was lieutenant governor, read from the Book of James. Ruth Ann showed us her faith by her deeds.
She lived her faith. Jennifer Wagner Davis, who served as director of the Office of Management and Budget under Minner, shared how the governor taught her about the Delaware Way. Nancy Wagner — both Republicans — Davis told Minner neither, and that she was a transplant. You have a lot to learn.
And you must learn the Delaware Way. Matt Denn, Davis said Minner was a force of nature.
When it came to Minner, U. Lisa Blunt Rochester said, it was about grace and grit. President Joe Biden finished out the speakers, paying respect to Minner and her years of service. She is one of the most remarkable and inspirational people that Jill and I have ever met, and that our families have ever known.
Biden said Minner, who lost two husbands, knew how he felt when his son, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, died. Like Ruth Ann, Beau walked among the people. Think of what she did … Ruth Ann gave her best to Delaware.
She gave her best to America. May God bless our dear friend.
May God bless America. Delaware says goodbye to Ruth Ann. The flag-draped casket of former Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner is loaded into the hearse to ride to her final resting place. Melissa Steele.
