Mrs. Bertha “Pat” Minton

Age 72 of Corbin, Kentucky passed away Monday, May 20, 2024, at her home.  Pat was born March 02, 1952, in Middlesboro, Kentucky, to Bertha (Jones) Lindsey and James Lindsey.  She grew up in Jellico, Tennessee where she met and married Tommy Minton in 1969.  They had four children together: Dawn, Stephanie, Ben, and Jason.  Pat and Tommy also raised their first grandchild, Trinity Minton (Trinny), who sadly passed away from cancer at the age of 12.

Pat dedicated most of her time as a stay-at-home mom and homemaker.  After her children were grown, she entered the workforce and found fulfillment as a Teacher’s Aide.  Tragically, the passing of Trinny in 2003 deeply affected her and she left her job.

Pat had a passion for art and enjoyed drawing and painting.  She cherished spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren.  In her leisure time, she loved reading, collecting books and porcelain dolls, and playing cards and bingo.

Pat was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Tommy Minton, her grandson Trinity Minton, her sister Margaret Lindsey, her brother Fred Lindsey, and her parents James and Bertha Lindsey. 

She is survived by her daughters Dawn Minton and Stephanie Garcia, sons Ben Minton and Jason Minton, seven beautiful grandchildren, Taylor Minton, Turner (Ben) Minton, Tegan Grace Vanover, Brady Minton, Hayden Minton, Nadia Minton, and Dylan Minton.  Five great-grandchildren, Taiyah, Trinity, Greyson, Hunter, and Novalee.  She also leaves behind her brother Bob Lindsey (Loreen) and sisters Betty Swabb, Nora Denker, and Bonnie Meadors (Bennie), sister-in-law, Ruth Minton as well as a large circle of family and friends who will mourn her passing.
