Bristol Maslin Obituary
Winnie was born on April 7, 1928, to Mary and Bristol Moore in Bardwell, Kentucky. Her family moved to Toledo, Ohio, where she grew up. She graduated from Scott High School in Toledo. Winnie came to San Diego as a young woman where she had a long career at Fireman's Fund Insurance as an Underwriter. She is preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Donald Maslin, the love of her life. Her life with Don was full and exciting as they traveled the world and enjoyed many wonderful experiences together. They had many close friends as well, with whom they shared their life. With no children of their own, they were especially close to her sister's family in San Diego.
Winnie is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Hal Heist of San Diego; nieces, Deborah Sharpe and Dawn Thompson of San Diego; nephew, David Heist of Livermore, Ca.; and many grandnieces and nephews. She had an especially close friendship with her only sibling, Ann. The family will greatly miss our sweet aunt who enjoyed life, parties, laughter, family and friends.
Winnie's ashes will be scattered at sea where her husband Don's were scattered five years ago. They are together again. A celebration of Winnie's life will be held on Sunday, Jan. 10, at her beloved home in La Jolla, overlooking the beauty of the La Jolla Shores.

It's been 20 years since I worked with Winnie, at Fireman's Fund. I can still picture her at her desk, quickly finishing up something she was working on so that she could answer a question for you and not keep you waiting. She was always helpful & informative, and a pleasure to work with. She had a beautiful house, loved traveling, & liked Oriental furnishings I recall. I always liked her real name "Bristol" better than "Winnie" & couldn't fathum why she didn't go by it. Altogether a very nice lady, and I'm sad to hear of her passing. )o:

May Jehovah the God of comfort be with your family thru this time.
Psalms 38:18 "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart;
And those who are crushed in spirit he saves."

I am writing a personal biography and found this item about Don and Winnie and wanted to share it with you. We continued to go to SCCA meetings. There I came to know a lot of his friends. Some of them were Don and Winnie Maslin. Don Maslin had an unusual skill. He could tell by looking at my face that my foot had gone to sleep. I never figured out how he did that.

I was taught the personal lines insurance business by Winnie when I came to the "The Fund" in 1968 as a trainee, fresh out of college and an agent's son-in-law to boot. She was a no nonce instructor with a great heart and sharp wit! We kept in touch through my Father and Mother-in-Laws, C. Lee and Isabel Williams, as they saw Winnie and Don socially over the years and Winnie and Isabel were quite close. We all loved working at "The Fund" and I am still in the business she taught me so it must have taken! Pete Griffith
