She was born in Teaneck and grew up in Palisades Park, NJ, before settling in Hazlet in 1959, where she raised five children with her husband Bill.

Winifred is also survived by 15 cherished grandchildren;  four adored great-grandchildren; and her sister and brother-in-law, Florence and Frank Henry of Corpus Christi, TX.

She was admired for, above all things, her ability to treat others with respect and touch the lives of all who met her. 

Winifred loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly, as well as the beach and being creative.

She had a magical touch with flowers, owning a flower business, she affectionately named Flowers by Wynne.  This gave her an opportunity to travel throughout the state, going to various craft shows and showcasing her talents.

She was the Hazlet Hawks Pop-Warner Football League’s Cheerleading and Twirling coach for many years and also held the position of Cheerleading Commissioner for the Jersey Shore Pop-Warner Football and Cheerleading during those years.  She volunteered as a Hazlet Girl Scouts Leader for one of Hazlet’s troops.
