Mim was well known for her thoughtfulness and hospitality, as well as her shared leadership in the founding of Herr Foods. Through the James S. Herr Foundation and other charitable organizations, she was a tireless advocate for evangelism around the world. She had a heart for community service. The delight of her life was her family—not only her personal descendants and church family, but the whole “family” of employees. She was an active member of Mount Vernon Church in Kirkwood, PA, for nearly 70 years.
A private interment for the immediate family was held on Monday, September 5, 2016, in Nottingham, where she is buried next to her beloved husband. A memorial service is being planned for September 24 at 3:00 PM at the Oxford Area High School, 705 Waterway Road, Oxford, PA. Visitation will be from 9:00 to 11:00, 12:00 to 2:00, as well as after the service. Refreshments will be available throughout the day. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to Mount Vernon Church in Kirkwood, PA, or Samaritan’s Purse, in Boone, NC. Arrangements are being handled by the Edward L. Collins, Jr., Funeral Home, Oxford, PA. On-line condolences may be made at HYPERLINK "http://www.elcollinsfuneralhome.com" \hwww.elcollinsfuneralhome.com.
