Winnie was such a "classy" lady. I had the privilege of working with her both at Park State Bank as well as at Mountain National Bank. She was respected and loved by everyone she came in contact with. She was also an online friend well after she retired. Winnie was so fortunate to have such a loving family and she appreciated them very much. She will be missed.

Winnie continues to be an inspiration to so many. I got to know her during her final years. She kept her zest for life. She always had a smile in her heart and joy in her heart. You see, she didn't just do taxes, she became extended family for so many others who came back year after year sharing what was going on in their lives. We'll always remember and love her.

Dear Miss Winnie,
I will miss the possibility that we would run into one another again one day. The memory of you is just as strong today, though, as the actual living was years ago when you were at Mountain National Bank and I would come into your office to get a required Bank Officer's signature on a bank document. Your kindness and welcome were always present. You were always a beautiful lady and you will be remembered always by me for your gentle spirit and love for your family. My condolences go to the family at this time of loss.
