Mignon was born November 26, 1942 in Kansas City, Missouri. She attended Baker University, Missouri University at Kansas City, Ursinus College and was granted her Bachelor of Arts degree by Muskingum College on August 13th, 1967.

During her lifetime, she acquired a broad wealth of literary knowledge; became an advanced level seamstress, mastered the world's greatest card game-Contract Bridge; and honed her teaching skills. She combined her teaching skills with her knowledge of bridge to teach the game to thousands of students through community education venues. She is preceded in death by her parents, Edward S. and Emma Jean Lynam, and her sister, Paula J. Hon. Surviving family members include her husband, Larry E. Nearmyer; her daughters, Genevieve Damico of Chicago, Illinois and Chariss Nearmyer of Princeton, Minnesota; Grandsons Caden Wolsfeld, Logan Wolsfeld, and Alex Dahlheimer all of Princeton, Minnesota. She took great pride in her family members. She leaves behind a legacy that only a great teacher can achieve; thousands of people whose knowledge has been expanded, increasing their enjoyment and quality of life. She was surrounded by her closest friends preceding her death, and because of the impossibility of directly contacting the legions of people whose lives she positively affected, no memorial services other than remembrance from her church pulpit are planned. Memorials may be made to the Plymouth Presbyterian Church, 3755 Dunkirk Ln N, Plymouth, MN 55446, or Chariss' dog rescue, No Dog Left Behind www.ndlbrescue.org that has placed 7,000 dogs in foster homes.
