Oh Where Can I Begin....spent most of my childhood years as a next door neighbor. So many great memories made with her and the family. When I think of her I remember her very distinctive giggle. We certainly had some fun times with this very special lady. Winnie, I hope you are with the Lord and resting in peace. Until we meet again. Shirley & Dave Pete

My deepest sympathy to Winnie's family! I worked with Winnie at WDOR and she was part of my car pool of my "sweet little old ladies" which also included Pearl and Dorothy. I have fond memories of working with and droving those 3 lovely ladies to work! Winnie was a sweetheart. I am fortunate to have shared a part of her life in my years at WDOR.
