Chong Hui Minter
Chong Hui MinterGardeningChong Hui Minter, 82 of Richwood, passed away Sunday September 6, 2026 at the Ohio State University Hospital, she is now free from the burdens of this life, held in the love of her family. She has been a resident of Richwood since the early 1970s.

She was born June 17, 1944 in Popsong-myon, Yongkwang-Kun, South Korea to Yong Kil and Kuk Sun (Pak) Na. She carried a strong-willed spirit and quiet determination throughout her life. As a young woman, she met her future husband, Charles R. Minter, an American GI, in a moment that became family legend — she traded a promise of a date for him to delete a photograph he had taken of her. They married in 1966 and spent decades traveling the world together, building a life filled with love, adventure, and devotion.

She was known for her beautiful gardens which brought color and joy to Richwood for many years. She loved fishing, spending time with her family, and ordering treasures from QVC. Her kindness, humor, and unshakable spirit made her a beloved presence in every room she entered.

She leaves her love in the hearts of those she leaves behind, her children, Kyong-A Minter, of Germany, Matthew (Sky Middaugh) Min of Marysville
grandchildren, Ashley Min, Marisa Min, Courtney Min and Kaiya Johnson
sister, Yong Hui Min of South Korea
And her faithful toy poodle, Emma

Chong and Charles have been our neighbors for over 20 years and we became friends, trading garden produce and visiting.  Chong loved to fish and she brought us fish when she had a good day fishing.  She taught me how to make Korean egg rolls and they are delicious. We will miss her humor and all the stories she told.

Our Richwood garden club visited your family home several times.  The gardens were beautiful.  The feeling of love carried through the house from the specially built cabinets to accommodate you to the thoughtful attention to detail inside and out. Know that you will meet again. But for the time being our family prays for yours to sustain your faith until you meet again.
