Winifred C. Smith Patrikas

Born in Lynn, she was the daughter of the late Patrick and Sarah Smith. Winnie was a resident of Swampscott for over 50 years before moving to her daughter, Jane’s Guilford, CT residence where she was lovingly cared for until her passing.

Winnie was a 1944 graduate of St. Mary’s Girls High School, attended Burdett Business School and worked at the General Electric Company in Lynn for 10 years before starting her family.
