Winifred Wong Obituary
South Deerfield, MA - Winifred "Winnie" Wong, 86, of 78 Whately Road passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 27th.
Winnie was born in Northampton on January 19th, daughter of Chung and Lou Shee Wong. She is survived by her brother Jim (Lucy) Wong, her sister Helen Wong, sister-in-law Ping Wong and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, her brothers, Thomas, Edward, William, Frank, Walter and Alfred and her sisters, Blanche Woo and Violet Partridge.
She dedicated her professional life to her work as part of the administration staff at the Clarke School for the Deaf for 40+ years and a bakery assistant at Walt's Bakery.
Winnie cherished time spent with her family, delighting in gatherings and approaching every meal with a boundless appetite and a love for trying all kinds of food.
She embraced an active lifestyle, enjoying fitness classes with friends at the South Deerfield Senior Center and the Greenfield YMCA well into her mid 80's. Winnie also found happiness spending time outdoors biking, cross-country skiing, and tending to her garden.
Burial at Green River Cemetery will occur at a later date. McCarthy Funeral Homes entrusted with Winifred's care and arrangements.

Winnie has been my friend for my 22 years of retirement in Deerfield. We have had many lunches and get togethers. She always shared her homegrown vegetables with me. She was one of the best weight lifters at the Y. I will miss her.

Will miss you, Winny. You were such a powerhouse at healthy bones and balance class. We had many fun conversations at the senior center when it was located at the Holy Family Center.

I knew Winnie from our days at Clarke School for the Deaf. I was the Secretary to the Upper School so we didn't work side by side, but we did connect every day. Winnie shared my sister's birthday and we enjoyed talking about our families. Winnie was a delight to me. May she rest in God's peace.
