Winnifred P Drown

Winnie was born on December 22, 1923 in Portland Maine to Major A. Wing and Velma Pearl (Borden). She attended Portland schools and eventually met and married the love of her life, Walter Mason Drown SR. Winnie was a hard worker who spent 23 years working in food service for the Falmouth School Dept.

Winnie was a fiercely independent and deeply religious woman who held family values to be paramount. She was an active member of the Falmouth Congregational Church. She loved camping, spending time with family and friends and was a fantastic cook. Many of her sacred recipes will be deeply missed.

Winnie is survived by her daughter-in-law Gale Drown; her four grandsons: Bill Pedneault, wife Jennifer and step-daughter Brittany; Chris Gray and wife Tina; Karl Gray and fiancée Joelle; Michael Drown and wife Amanda and 3 great grandchildren: Colleen Gray, Kendra Gray and Russell M. Drown. Winnie was predeceased by her parents; her loving husband, Walter; her son Walter Mason Drown JR; her daughter Barbara Gray and her son-in-law Lynn Gray.

The family would like to thank the staff at Maine Medical Center and the Gosnell House for the care you extended to Winnie. Your teams are exceptional and they are deeply grateful for all that you have done.

A graveside service will be held at Blanchard Cemetery; 215 Winn Road in Falmouth on Friday August 5 at 1pm. There will also be a reception to celebrate Winnie’s life on Saturday August 6 at the Falmouth Congregational Church; 267 Falmouth Road in Falmouth at 1pm.
