Obituary
Winnifred 'Winnie' Edna Ivey passed away at 'Just Like Home' resident facility in Yerington, Nevada on Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Winnie was 95.
She was born in Bridgewater Maine to Claude and Nellie Thistle on October 5, 1917. As a small child she moved with her family to Lomita, California where she graduated from Narbonne High School.

Winnie was an active member of Eastern Star for over 50 years, a volunteer and member of the Board for the Hospital Auxiliary, a member of the Women's Group as well as the Board for the Methodist Church. She was a very talented knitter and quilter and rarely missed her Tuesday sewing group.
