A lot of my past went with cousin Wini but great memories will always remain.  I miss her great smile and almost daily emails very much. My sympathies to all who knew her and loved her.

We were away from Ft Collins on January 26th and were very saddened to learn of Wini's passing.  We regret being unable to attend her Memorial Service. Wini Was such a dear, sweet, and beautiful soul, very strong and always so positive. We became acquainted through a ""Volunteers of American"" program. Her sweet, sweet spirit was very contagious and we were always the ones benefiting from our weekly visits. She was a remarkable lady indeed, enriching our lives in many ways.

My dear Aunt Wini's passing is a great loss to me. It's difficult to say all she meant to me throughout my life in a short version. I want to join many others in saying what a truly wonderful lady she was. Wini was strong, courageous, determined to overcome obstacles. She had great intelligence, talent in many areas, a fun sense of humor. She served others in many ways, was gracious, kind, sharing, and loved her family deeply. Whenever I could spend time with her I came away feeling cheerful and loved.
Her younger sister, my wonderful Mother, preceded her to Heaven by 2 & 1/2 months after a long illness. Aunt Wini was my main family support, counselor, and adviser during that time. Even though many miles apart we talked to each other often. I miss them both so much but am happy every time I think of them being together again, sharing their sweetness with all the others there before them.

It was a great privilege to meet Wini through our mother, Johnnie Armfield, Wini's neighbor at Park Lane Tower.  Wini kept an extra key to Mom's apartment over the years and was always one of the first to offer help of any kind, to share theater tickets, to slide a thoughtful card under the door or provide yummy treats when we visited from out of town.  We know how highly Mom valued Wini's friendship & that she was inspired by her strength and positive, optimistic attitude. We know they had fun and many laughs together, and for that, we will always be grateful.  We extend our love and sympathy to Wini's entire family and hope you will be comforted by knowing she was loved and appreciated by many.

Cheryl and Denny
You are in my heart and prayers.

Cheryl & Denny, Sorry of the passing of your Mother Cheryl !!!! I appreciated knowing her and having her as a valued customer for her transportation needs. Just remember all the good times during this grieving time. My goodness, I quess @ 93, it may have been time !! My thoughts and prayers are with you and Denny. Sincerely, Dick Schaefer

Cheryl and Denny,

We're very sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts are with you.

All thoughts of Wini are of a beautiful, classy lady.  She was always kind and thoughtful to our family and treated us like family. As our sons were growing up she was just ""Gramma Wini"".  To Cheryl and Denny we offer our condolences and love. You will always be family to us. We love you!

It has been a pleasure knowing Wini since we met over researching our Underwood family history.  I will miss sharing my adventures with Wini and hearing about what she enjoyed and the events in her life.  We never met in person but I felt a close bond to her.  She will be missed.

Although I have known Wini for over 20 years, I have been blessed to know her as a friend and fellow resident at Park Lane the last six.  Our greatest connection came in our Bible study--something Wini invited me to when I first came to live at PLT.  She was our organizer, our scripture reader and our 'rock'...Wini shared her life in a way that made our Bible study more meaningful.  Her sweet, gentle spirit was reflected in her smile and in her continual acts of thoughtfulness.  What a generous soul she was. 
I already miss Wini immensely and am so very grateful God blessed me with her in my life.  May she be fulling resting and celebrating in His presence now and forever more.

I looked forward to seeing Wini every Monday for the last three or so years, and I will genuinely miss her smiling, gentle way about her. I always knew we could have a nice conversation, and I always left down the hall with a good feeling, Wini touched me so. I considered Wini a friend, and you will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to your family.

Lit a candle in memory of Winifred Irene Brooks

So sorry to hear of your loss. Winnifred was such a gracious, beautiful woman that will be deeply missed. 
My mother (Joanne Farris) has such great memories of growing up close to her cousin Wini.

Winifred was such a sweet, beautiful, loving person. Our family was truly blessed to have her in our lives. My mother, Joanne Underwood Farris is Winifred's cousin and loved her dearly. When I was a little girl I remember being thrilled to see Irving & Winifred pull up in their big bus to visit us on the farm in Arizona. My thoughts & prayers are with Cheryl, David, Allen & families. Your mother was a gem!

I live here at Park Lane Towers and Wini will be greatly missed for her bright smile and incredible tanasity and strength in challenging times. I will always have fond memories of her.

Wini was a special and loving Aunt to us she will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace.

Words fail me to express the feeling of loss for both of us.  We always looked forward to hearing from our ""Cuz"" and nothing or no one can ever replace her. Your feeling of loss is indescribable I am sure. Love, Dick and Sissie

I had a wonderful grandmother, one who never really grew old; her smile was made of sunshine, and her heart was solid gold; her eyes were as bright as shining stars, and in her cheeks fair roses you see. I had a wonderful grandmother and that's the way it will always be.  But take heed, because she still keeping an eye on all of us, so let's make sure she will like what she sees.  Grandma you will always live in my heart.

Your Grandaughter

To Our Family,
We will miss Aunt Winifred, but we know she has been re-united with many loved ones in heaven.  We will always remember the time spent with her in Hays, Kansas a few years ago.  Now that visit with her, Cheryl and Denny holds even more meaning for us.    Distance kept us apart, but she was always in our hearts.  We know you will miss her terribly, but no one can ever take away your memories.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family, What a richer place heaven has become! Aunt Wini was such a beautiful soul and so strong in so many ways! What I would give to have seen her one last time. I wish I could come to the memorial service, however ,because of me having a high-risk pregnancy with McKenna and since I'm going into third trimester I can't travel. Aunt Wini is so loved and be sorely missed!
