To the Mitchell and extended family of this beautiful one of a kind woman I am truly sorry for your loss I was a peer educator for Miss Winkie when I was in high school and she taught me a lot and I am still thankful for the experience to this day. I am at a loss for words because I thought about her over the years.
God Bless you all!! We love you Miss Winkie!!!

So sorry to hear of Winkie's passing. Sadly, I am leaving town tomorrow and will miss her funeral Mass. I knew her from Springfield Peace Center. Praying for her family and friends.

We are so sorry for your loss. We didn´t know Winkie very well but saw her at St Raphael. I remember her bringing her son and then her grandchildren to mass. We always spoke. My husband knew her from the Rocking Horse also. I will miss looking over at church and seeing her at 10:30 mass. God Bless
