Born January 21, 1923 in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, Winifred is predeceased by her three sisters, Eileen, Anne, Joan and two brothers, Bill and Noel. Predeceased by her husband, Fred, and daughters, Patricia (Bern) and Marie (David), she leaves to mourn her children, Pauline (Sam), Eileen (Kevin), Jim (Michelle), Joan (Don), Helen (Rob) and Fred (Lynn), her son-in-law Bern and son-in-law David, thirteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Winifred also leaves to mourn many relatives in Newfoundland & Labrador, other parts of Canada, Ireland, England, France, and USA. A woman of great faith and immeasurable love and understanding, Winifred prayed the Rosary each day in Irish.

As was her wish, her loving family were by her bedside as she passed from this life.
