Winifred M. (Scott) Shea, 83, of Auburn, died Wednesday at home surrounded by her loving family after a brief illness.

She is survived by her children: Richard J. Shea of Webster; Deacon William S. Shea and his wife Miriam of Charlton; Kathryn M. wife of Albert L. Bisceglia of Holden; Patricia E.

Cammuso; her brothers, George Scott, Paul Scott and his wife Kathy, Bernadette Scott, and Joseph Scott and his wife Bonnie; and her sisters-in-law Carole McGurl, Karen Shea, Mary Shea, and Rita Shea. Winnie leaves many nieces and nephews.

Winnie was born in Worcester. She was the daughter of the late George V. and Winifred P. (Early) Scott. Winnie was a graduate of Auburn High School. She worked as a teledata entry clerk for ADP.

Winnie’s greatest joy was being a mother and grandmother. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was an avid fan of the Patriots and Red Sox. She enjoyed many road trips with Dick and Jean and Bob Towne and monthly lunches with the girls from Club. Her greatest attributes were her kindness, compassion, and gentle nature.

The Shea family would like to extend special thanks to Marion and Ed Lemay and Barbara Burton for the care and compassion they showed to Winnie.
