Colin Theile's Foreword to An Australian Bush Who's Who notes that Min joined the RSPCA as a child and remained a member all her life. She formed the Whyalla Branch of the RSPCA in 1958, becoming Secretary and Treasurer of it, and formed a Junior Branch as well. She wrote two books of verse about animals for children when she was in her eighties.
