This is the obituary for Minnie Menger Schlosser — née Wilhelmina Menger, co-founder of Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company, VP for 45 years (c.1911–1956). Her six Menger brothers — including L. B. (L.B. Menger, accounts), G. P. (Gus P. Menger, president), R. W. (R. W. Menger, secretary), and T. J. (T. J. Menger, treasurer) — confirm the full Menger sibling set active in H&H leadership. The 45-year VP tenure starting c.1911 aligns with William R. Hoffmann’s death and the consolidation that put Minnie in the officer role.
