So sorry to hear of Winnie's passing. She was very kind and giving to me growing up and into adulthood. My condolences to the Russell family. I will always remember her homemade cookies and "freshy" juice in constant supply! - Posted by: Cindy Holloway (old family friend) on: Jan 21, 2016

Our deepest sympathies to the Russel family. It was a genuine pleasure to have Winnie join us for many holidays such as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. She was always so appreciative of the meals, laughter and family fun at Mom and Dad's. Winnie shared many flowers from her garden with me. Every year I will be reminded of warm memories of her smile as my flowers bloom. May you all find comfort knowing she is rejoicing in heaven. - Posted by: John, Loretta, Chayleah and Koldan Penner (Friends) on: May 22, 2014

From God's beautiful rose garden, Jesus picked Winnie, and is now holding her close to His heart, and giving her peace. She was a wonderful, caring lady, who left precious memories, and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She was always willing to share the fruits of her labour from her garden. My heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your beloved mother. - Posted by: Rose (f) on: May 21, 2014

To the entire Russell Family, our thoughts, hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are very sorry for your loss. Winnie will always have a special place in my heart. She was a selfless woman who always put the needs of others ahead of herself. The care and dedication in taking care of her mother. I will miss her many jokes and our many long conversations both when I was a child and into adulthood. Michelle Rogers I truly appreciate her kindness in helping to take care of Michelle and Robert.
