She was a member of St. Paul’s U.C.W, the Grande Prairie Kinette Club and the Prince Albert Kinettes, where she met many friends.  Winona loved to play bridge with her Wednesday afternoon ladies.  One of her greatest pleasures was Waskesiu Lake.  She loved to have her family and friends gather at the cabin.  Winona was predeceased by her sons, Mark and Greg; her sister Gwen Holmes and her parents Christine and Doug Clunie.  Winona’s love was her greatest gift to her family and friends.  She will be lovingly remembered by her husband; daughter; son-in-law; grandchildren; great grandchildren and family.  Donations in Winona’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 54 – 11^th Street East, Prince Albert, SK S6V 0Z9.  A Service will be held at a later date.  Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca.  Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Gray’s Funeral Chapel, (306-922-4729).
