Notes - Winn, like her sister Merrill, never married the two sisters lived together for life. Winn was a strong leader. She was captain of the girls' basketball team in high school and was an executive in the insurance industry (personnel manager for London Life) years before it was socially acceptable for women to hold such positions. Winn was a strong caretaker who lived with, and looked after, her parents in their later life. She also lived with her younger sister Merrill for life.
