And, remembering, too, the Wilton cadre and the events that they organized for us...Wilton Town Meeting and a Youth Town Meeting and, no doubt, many that I cannot recall at the moment.Ann On Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at 01:05:55 PM MDT, Beret Griffith via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Pinkie's death feels like an era passing. The Wilton colleagues were great and always gave generously in development campaigns. We'd have a dinner at the New York House to set off each development campaign. I have great memories of our New Jersey colleagues too. Beret On Wed, Sep 4, 2024, 11:08 AM James Wiegel via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: I did not know this person, Judi.

She passed on February 28th in her assisted living home in Fairfield, CT. Her son, Bill, said this was unexpected. The last time we talked, around Valentine's Day, she said all she wanted to do was sleep. Each time I called after that, the phone rang with no answer. Winkie was host to many colleagues on their fundraising and event recruiting treks. She supported the New York House with her breath of fresh air presence bringing her famous seven bean soup, or suits for permeators, or pitching in on set up and serving, and so much more. She holds a seat of honor on my meditative council as guide tgrough a dark night into the light of self-confidence to begin a new path. She introduced me to the labyrinth as a sacred ritual, and as an essential element in church and community renewal. Gee, she loved us all so much, i am sure her compassion lives on in the hearts of those who continue on this unshakable journey.
