I knew Winnie since we worked together in the A & P in Connecticut in the late 1940's. She was Godmother for my oldest daughter. We always correspoded by Christmas cards since I moved to California. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who knew her.

Karen, I'm sorry for your loss. Your mother was my father's sister. I remember her as a child. She was such a nice person.
