Winifred J. "Win" Eide

We all loved Winn and will miss her wit and wisdom. I enjoyed her phone calls, when she would accidentally call our phone number and we would talk for 20 minutes. My lemon tree is strong and healthy because of her advice.

My condolences for your loss. I did not know your mother long, but it was clear that she was a gentle, gracious woman. John Newman, 517 Maple Ave.

Will remember her beautiful soul forever. Her mind was sharper than mine many times. Loved how much she loved the oranges I would send her and she would eat them peeling and all! My condolences to her family.

I had the good fortune to know Win for 23 years. My favorite memory is when she described the day her Dad reported to the draft board when the US entered World War 1, and how relieved they were when he was told to go back home and raise as much food as possible. Win was only two and a half at the time. Win was a neighborhood treasure who will be remembered fondly for many decades.

I met Win through her work at the State Department of Health and Social Services Library. She came to the monthly meeting of our state agency librarians over many years. After she retired I would bring her to the annual Christmas lunch of this group until she was well into her nineties. I always enjoyed our conversations about her family, work and her volunteering at Ohlbrick's library. She was a remarkable woman. I am very sorry for your loss.
