What she originally thought would be a job without working weekends has turned into a 24/7 career of passion for Minnie. From her time as a teller to working her way up to President, she’s spent the last thirty-plus years doing the right thing for our customers and our community.

Seen as more than just a banker, Minnie appreciates that her customers are comfortable chatting with her about the changes they are considering in their lives and businesses. That kind of relationship, often lasting for generations, is how she’s able to be so responsive.

Minnie came to Thermopolis in 1980 with her husband to experience all the scenery, camping and hunting our area offers. She’s also a serious fixer-upper, always looking for new ways to bring life to old furnishings, rooms and houses.
