TV weather presenter Wincey Willis passed away in Dec but her family have only released news now.
She was 75 and suffered with dementia.

Wincey was very popular and famous for her colourful clothes, especially knitwear.

Remember her very well - a very bubbly personality ! Haven’t seen her at all since her ‘weather’ days. Sad 😢

Sad news. She was a favourite of my dad’s, partly because she hailed from his neck of the woods, but also because she always came across as so likeable. RIP.

I remember Wincey and her big smile.
A funny memory of her was when she presenting the weather once and they’d done a feature on David Bowie who it appears she was a huge fan of, they panned to Wincy and she was fanning herself she said ‘please excuse me while I go wipe myself down with a wet sporting life’. Cracked me up and I’ll never forget it. Lovely lady RIP

I think Winsey Willis is one of the best names we have had a presenter. So memorable

Wincey, sorry my phone autocorrected the spelling. I hate to see names spelt wrong.

I remember her most for her appearances on "Treasure Hunt" which we watched as a family when my childrem were quite young.

Wincey - I loved watching you on tv. You were a ray of sunshine regardless of the weather on which you were reporting. Rest in peace, lovely lady. You did good!!
