Devoted wife, mother and caregiver. Winifred knew true love; the love of her God and her family. Winnie found great pleasure in caring for her family nothing put a smile on her face more than family gatherings. She loved spending time with her large extended family. You see there was never a child or for that fact a not so young child she didn't open her heart to. She shared this love along with her spouse of 57 year William who went to be with the Lord May 1, of 2011.
