Formerly a resident of Ednor Gardens and Homeland, Coughlin was 89. Coughlin was a graduate of the Institute of Notre Dame, where she served as president of her senior class, and attended the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. Referred to in her IND yearbook as “winsome, witty Winnie,” Coughlin had a lifelong love of learning. Honored to have received a partial scholarship from the college, she was crushed to learn that her family could not afford the remaining tuition. When a colleague of her mother’s paid the remaining part of the tuition, this gave Coughlin a lesson she never forgot. When she later returned to the donor with an offer to repay him, he asked instead that she pay it forward to help others. In subsequent years, Winnie and her husband established several scholarships to do just that. She was thrilled over the years to receive letters from students who were the recipients of these scholarships. Coughlin interrupted her college education when she married Patrick J. Coughlin Jr. in October 1944. The SEE NEXT PAGE
