Minnie L. Cleveland, 92, of Orlando, transitioned from labor to reward on Wednesday, December 22, 2021.

She was educated in Orange County Public Schools and graduated from Jones High School, Orlando, FL. She married the love of her life, Sgt. Clarence Cleveland, in 1952. Their love remained steadfast until his death in 2002. To this union, a son was born, Alfred L. Cleveland.

She was a dedicated member of the COGIC at Washington Park Church of God and later at 910 Church of God, in attendance regularly until her later years when she was unable to attend.

Clarence Cleveland and her son Alfred for many years as a Military wife and mother. Their travel destinations included Germany, Spain and many other overseas countries. Minnie lived in New York and Fayetteville, NC. She was a seamstress and loved cooking. Minnie spent many years working on the various military bases and after returning to state side she worked in the retail industry.
