She graduated from Garfield High School and went on to attend nurse's training in Spokane. She married Harlie Griner in 1938.

Harlie passed away in 1960. Winifred worked for a time at Fuller's Grocery in Peshastin and was involved in the restaurant business in the Wenatchee area for a time. She moved to Spokane for a few years. Winifred married George Knott in 1965.
