Wini McCaffrey

Wini McCaffrey, a member of the SF Peninsula branch of the California Writers Club for many years, passed away on October 28, 2020. This photo was taken at the 50th Anniversary of the San Francisco Peninsula Branch celebration. Wini was accompanied by her daughter, Deidre.In addition to her daughter, she leaves behind two sons, six grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. Deidre would like all who knew her mother to find her obituary at the Sierra View Funeral Chapel & Crematory in Carmichael, Ca.
We will all deeply miss her sympathetic and loving nature.
