Winnifred Cushing Wallace, of Tucson, passed away March 23, 1998. Born in 1906 in Colfax, Iowa. Broadway actress in the 30's, having acted as a major character with Lee J. Cobb in Arthur Miller's 'Death of a Salesman' during the play's Broadway hit. Her acting career was cut short following an automobile accident at age 50, leaving her a paraplegic and wheelchair bound. She was a model for disabled Americans. For 40 years, she valued her self-sufficiency. She invented a board to heave her body from her automobile seat to her wheelchair, in order to drive herself to work everyday. She lived alone, accomplishing all home chores by herself. She moved to Tucson in the early 70's where she edited 'Never Too Late' the newsletter published by the Pima Council on Aging. She next named and edited 'The Clarion', Arizona's only feminist newspaper as an employee of the Tucson Women's Commission. Her community contributions brought her a Jefferson award in the late 70's. From 1980 to 1990, Mrs. Wallace worked for the YMCA's 'Women Helping Women' program. At 80 years old she was still helping women by recruiting lawyers, financial counselors, and career counselors to provide free counseling to women in need. She greeted everyone at the 'Historic Y' building where she was housed, as they came for their appointments. She retired from her community work in 1982 and maintained an active interest in the events of the community and the world until her death at the young age of 91. She will be sorely missed by her five grandchildren, Joseph Rollins, Douglas Van Sant, Steven Van Sant, Linda Van Sant, and David Osborne; her six great-grandchildren; and her best friend and confidante for over 20 years, her 'other daughter', Alison Hughes. Goodbye, beautiful Winnie, goodbye. We shall love you always. We shall appreciate you always. We shall remember you always. A Memorial Service will be held at the 'Historic YWCA' building, 738 N. 5th Avenue, on Friday, March 27 at 4:30 p.m. Please join friends and family during this celebration of Winnie's life.
