R.I.P.
Sr Winifred Muriel died peacefully on Friday 25 November 2011 at McCulloch House, Clayton. She was 93 years old and had been a professed Sister of the Community for 67 years. Before joining C.H.N., she was a parishioner of St Peter’s, Murrumbeena. During her time in the Community, Sr Winifred worked in the Children’s Homes in Brighton, Darling and Goulburn, and was involved in the local parish of St Matthew’s and St Francis, Cheltenham. Sr Winifred is best remembered for her years of work at the Kingston Centre from 1984, when she began assisting the part-time chaplain at that time. She was also well-known for her beautiful calligraphy, from which cards are still being reprinted.
The Community House Chapel was crowded for the funeral, conducted by the Warden, Rev. Graham Reynolds, on Tuesday 29 November. The eulogies were given by Rev. Andre Hassing and Sr. Ruth. We give thanks to God for the faithful life of Sr Winifred Muriel C.H.N.
