My earliest memory as a child (about 2-3 y.o.) is when we lived in Bath, PA and I was playing with a puzzle with Grandpa and Grandma Winch. When I think of times at their home, memories of her mac and cheese on Friday, lemon meringue pie, and the best mashed potatoes (made with warmed milk) come to mind. She always placed the potatoes near me because they were my favorite. I am blessed to have been able to visit with her, along with Charley, on Oct 18th, where we discussed these "food" memories.

My condolences to the family! I am going to miss her Dearly. She was the "True Lady" and never strayed from the Proper Morals and Beliefs in which she was raised. I will always Love and Respect her because of her "Old School" charming ways. I can not tell you enough about this "True Lady" . It IS a shame more of you did not know her as I... God Bless +

My Dear Aunt Pete - a wonderful person who lived a long and beautiful life. My earliest childhood memories include wonderful visits to her home, with Uncle George and Jim and Carol. during my adult years, Aunt Pete became a loved, trusted, and wise confidant. I will carry her in my heartand mind forever.

I will always remember "Mom" Winch and the way she put a smile on my face and in my heart with her precious stories. I can still see her and Mr. Winch behind the counter at their store when my sisters and brothers and I used to stop by for candy so many years ago. Seems like just yesterday. To my dear friend Carol and family, I send my deepest love, admiration, and prayers. Much love, Julie

I have fond remembrances of Lolita as a kind, gracious, and gentle woman. I recall her and George's visits to my grandparent's house when I was a child. Her legacy is reflected in the character of her family. Blessings to all during this time.
