My thoughts and prayers are with the Hodges family during this time. Winifred was truly a unique individual who marched to the beat of a different drummer. Her wit and laughter will sadly be missed.

Lifelong friend. We played together as children and attended the same high school. We stayed in touch throughout the years. I will miss her dearly. Love you Winkie.
