Winnifred Lessing Obituary
Winnifred A. Lessing died Nov. 13, 2010. She was 94 years old, born in Rochester, N.Y., but came to California in 1919.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Clifton J. Lessing, and a son, Clifton John Lessing, Jr.

Winnie was a great cook, gardener, and knitter. In her last few years she was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church Prayer Shawl ministry. Her loving, kind nature and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew her.
