Having left her childhood home in Nicaragua, Aminta was a 40-year Metairie resident and a parishioner of St. Clement of Rome Church, where she was actively involved with the Hispanic ministry. Throughout her life, she was blessed with a spirit of charity and service, striving to help those in need. As a pharmacy owner in the 1970s, she provided free medicine and medical equipment to many needy families. She loved to dance, sing, and prepare delicious meals for her family and friends, but above all, she was devoted to her family, to Christ, and to His Church.
