Winifred Frazee Gulick, 92, of Jenner’s Pond, died peacefully with family members present on Nov. 12. She was born to Elwood and Mildred Frazee on April 3, 1930, in Orange, New Jersey, and raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey.
Win was a graduate of Keuka College class of 1951. She met her husband, W. Lawrence “Lawry” Gulick, a student at Hamilton College, on a blind date. Married on 18 October 1952, they had just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
After her children reached school age, she worked at the Dartmouth College Athletic Department and in the Development Office at Hamilton College. She was an avid crafter, known for her quilts and knitting. After retirement, she started her own business making custom American Girl doll clothes.
After living on or near four college campuses and serving as a key member of those campus communities, Win and Lawry settled at Jenner’s Pond Retirement Community in 2003. At Jenner’s Pond she served as the chairperson of the knit/crochet club, co-chair of the craft show for many years, was an active member of the quilt club, the garden club, and was a Wii bowling champion. When she ran the knit/crochet club, she was responsible for ensuring that hundreds of hats were sent every year to area NICU units, to the cancer center in Kennett Square, to the Lakota Indian reservation in South Dakota, and to the St. Joseph’s Indian School.
Win was known as someone who showed she cared for people through her good deeds. Whether giving jam to neighbors, helping area non-profits, or sharing her talent for sewing with others, she was always there to lend a helping hand. Because she cared for the students in the north country at St. Lawrence University, she and other members of the family and friends endowed a scholarship for north country students engaged in community service.
She was a wonderful grandmother who showed patience, creativity, and willingness to listen. She will be missed by us all. She is survived by her husband, Lawry, three children Hans, Tod, and Kristina, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Services and burial will be held privately.
