A studio portrait of Winifred Atwell, date unknown.

An accomplished songwriter, musician and performer, Winifred Atwell was also a generous philanthropist. After she moved to Australia, she performed every Sunday on her 'day off' at her local parish church in Narrabeen. When she died in 1983, she left a large part of her estate to the Guide Dogs Association of NSW (as it was then called).
