We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
In loving Memory of Twinkie
With deep sadness, we learned that Mimz Grabau had passed away. This is a profound loss for our clinic family as she has been with Darlene for over 18 years starting as a student and then coming on staff. Mimz was a dedicated and determined advocate for our patients and will be sorely missed by all of us. -Community Health Free Clinic
As Mimz Anna’s 2nd grade teacher, I remember well that she was extremely quiet in the classroom with beautiful porcelain skin. To her family , I would hope that one day in the near future you will be able to rejoice knowing that Mimz now feasts at the table with our Lord. Hugs to all of you, Vicki Butters
Mimz was a great asset to the CHFC. She would help you with anything you asked her. If she didn’t know the answer she would go find the answers. I remember her as a student and staff. As a volunteer I enjoyed saying Hi! or a bref conversation when we weren’t so busy. She truly will be missed at the clinic .
RIP., Minz. Sara Kendall, RN. Chfc Volunteer.
