What a joy Winnie was. She touched so many lives. Most of all she was a kind person. Her final services were most appropriate and memorable. It was my privilege to have Winnie as a table mate at Merrill Gardens when she lived here. My condolences to all of her family. You truly have inherited her legacy to be treasured forever.

Although I have always lived far away from Olympia, my Aunt Winnie was always the beacon to lead me back to my mother's home town. I will miss her deeply and always remember what a wonderful friend and sister she was to Dottie.

Another of Olympia's true grand dames has gone. Winnie was a model for many younger women. She was bright, full of energy and invented to word, "assertive". As a small child, I listened to her on KGY (Mother Goose). Later, I knew her as one of my mother's friends. Even later I benefitted from her mentorship as an educator. Her tireless work for children and her community benefitted many. They just don't make civic leaders and women like Winnie and her compatriots any longer. You will be missed and long remembered.

My condolences to the Olsen family in the loss of your mother and grandmother. Aunt Winnie was the most interesting, generous, loving and fun person I have ever known. She made me want to be a better person because of her example of how to live life to the fullest, how to make a difference in the lives of others, and how to make family the priority it should be in life. I will miss her everyday.
Your cousin, Kristine
