Dear family of Winifred, Winnie was my first Sunday School teacher when I was about 5 years old.She and another lady taught together at SZUMC at the time. She was such a kind and caring lady. I'll always remember her. She was a blessing to everyone who knew her. I just saw her in a local pharmacy a little over a month ago. What a wonderful person she was! My condolence on your loss.
