Jean Owens wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sorry to hear of Winnie's passing. I had no idea she was so ill. I only knew her through emails, and telephone conversations. I considered her the family historian and enjoyed talking with her. It seemed like I had known her all my life. Since I live in Livermore, CA and have lived in California most of my life, I never had an opportunity to meet Winnie which was my loss. Jean Beck Owens”

“Winnie and I shared great grandparents, James Henry and Sue Unity Jeter. I have memories of her, her parents, siblings, and her grandparents, the Becks, that go back over 70 years. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations over the years. I will certainly miss her.”
