Mina LaFaye Sistare Brasington, age 59, of Lancaster, SC passed away on February 4, 2024 in Lancaster, South Carolina.

She was born on May 24, 1964 in Monroe, North Carolina. Mina was a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, and friend. Mina was predeceased by her beloved parents, Paul Edward Sistare and Martha Stacks Sistare; her son, Timothy Sistare; sisters, Marilyn Sistare and Kathy Rivers and brother, James Douglas Sistare.

She is survived by her brothers, Reggie Sistare (Cathy) and Ricky Edward Sistare both of Lancaster, SC; step-sister, Denise Stevens of Lancaster, SC; particularly her nephews, Michael Stevens (Rhonda) and Dennis Sanders and nieces, Michelle Laney, Heaven Sanders and Sharay Sanders and numerous other cousins, nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Her role as a grandmother was one of her greatest joys, and she will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Kelsey Sistare, Chase Sistare, Teegan Sistare, and Tyler Paul, as well as her cherished great-grandson, Ryker Paul.

Mina's professional life was marked by her tenure at the Lancaster Convalescent Center. Mina's commitment to her community was further demonstrated through her membership at Springhill Baptist Church, where she found solace and fellowship.

In her younger days, Mina found joy in visits to the beach and Carowinds, creating memories that she would fondly recount. She enjoyed watching television and had a fondness for older movies. Mina's love for her grandchildren was unparalleled, and she embraced every opportunity to spend time with them, cherishing her role as their Nana. Her ability to provide care was not only a professional skill but also a personal calling, as she was an excellent caregiver to her mother, Martha and her brother, Doug.

There will be a Celebration of Life Graveside Service on Friday, February 9, 2024 at 2:00 PM at Springhill Baptist Church with Pastor Renee Garrison officiating. The family will greet friends following the service at the cemetery.
