In previous years, before her health began to decline, she had been active in two garden clubs—Country Thyme Garden Club of Rising Sun, and All Season’s Garden Club of North East.

In addition to a sunny disposition and an enthusiasm for serving others, Winnie had a fun, light-hearted side that truly shined…no time was this more apparent when she founded Les Grand Dames of Cecil County—a local Cecil County chapter of the ‘Red Hat Society’. As queen mother for her chapter, Winnie and her fellow Red Hatters enjoyed many fun times together. Many people grew to know Winnie in her later years, and how fun she could be. Many people didn’t know the young Winnie, who was a professional roller-skater, who toured preforming acrobats with a skating partner, or the young woman who modeled for the nicer department stores in Salisbury during the 1950’s. Many people didn’t know that Winnie was an accomplished seamstress, a painter, and a woman with a beautiful voice that loved to sing.
