'Her husband died leaving her a young mother with four children, the oldest under 10, Pam the youngest was 2 or 3. She took on a number of jobs to survive. She was a very talented dress maker and she took in jobs from people in Lesley.'
'She loved music and she helped train numerous choirs. She was an organist for countless Scottish Churches, Catholics and Protestants. She was in great demand. She died at 83 and was actually fully booked for 12 months ahead. ''Aunt Winnie made regular visits to Skelton. She was fully accepted by the Scottish, and the turn out for her funeral was staggering.' (Lee Parker 26.4.97)
