Winnie was a familiar face in the Placentia area, well-known for her years of service behind the counter at Greene's Department Store and Branton's Ltd. She volunteered many hours of her time with the Red Cross, the Hospital Auxilary and her church, being a lay minister for years. Winnie and her husband were quiet, gentle folks, who loved to socialize, especially at the Star Hall with their many friends.
