I was just made aware of this very sad news.

Winnie was a very close friend of my father Frank Cadden when they both worked for the Port Authority. I too worked for the PA and Winnie attended my wedding in 1977. I also visited her when she lived in Brooklyn.
A dear, sweet and kind person.

We have just received the notification from Virginia about Winnie's passing.  Our sincere condolences to the family on this sad occasion.  

I worked with Winnie many years ago in the Port Authority. She was just a terrific person in every respect - always calm, always helpful, always cooperative.  It seemed that Winnie always had a smile on her face.  When it came to finding a document or some other file that may have been stored somewhere in the archives, she was the "go-to" person.  She was an amazing help to all.

Although her life was long it is never easy when a loved one passes from this life.   We wish you all the best.  May she rest in peace. 

Thanks so much for your contribution to the PARA organization.

Regards

Dave Gallagher, President
Port Authority Retirees Organization (PARA)

The world is less bright without our dearest Aunt Winnie, and I’ll always treasure every moment I spent with her.  She was a loyal, loving aunt and a true role model for me of grace, kindness, and wit.  She taught me family history and was always good for a shared laugh.  I will miss her more than I can say, and my heart goes out to all members of the family across the generations of lives she touched. 

I was very sorry to hear about Winnie’s passing. I’m sure it was a huge comfort for her to have her devoted daughters Ginny and Maureen looking after her. I cherish my wonderful memories of Brooklyn Avenue. Sending our love to the entire extended family that she loved so well. Xo

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know the whole family made her feel special in her last days. May she Rest In Peace.
