Nov. 8, 1913 — Oct. 28, 2005
Lucille Winkler, 91 of Sweet Home died Friday at a local foster home.
Lucille was born to Sudie Arnold and Tom Swoape in Burnet, Texas, the youngest of five children. She was raised for several years in Bisbee, Ariz., then moved to California in the San Joaquin Valley.
She married Dave H. Winkler on Jan. 8, 1929. She was just barely 15 years old, and he was 18 years old. In 1947, they moved to Sweet Home, and lived on Liberty Road. Dave didn't care about the house, but stepped off the field to see if it would work as a landing strip for his airplane. It did.
Lucille was always active in PTA, took part in all the fun activities that she and her friends could dream up for a small country school. As a 4-H leader, she kept the kids making small stitches and ripping out the ones that she didn't like.
She was always up for company for Sunday dinner, expected or not. She and Gramma Winkler loved having chickens and all the "farmy" stuff. The family milked cows and sold cream to Darigold.
Lucille was devoted to her family. She loved knowing all the details about her granddaughter, DaVee Jo Greer, husband Eddie and their children, Kyle, Riley and Hailey; granddaughter Allison Kae and George Fullwood and family, Kirbi, Joseph and RieAnne from Nome, Alaska; great-grandchildren Skylar Brown and Kolby Hill, and nieces Pat Murrhee of Lebanon, and Sue Conley of Oelrich, S.D. Things didn't mean much to her, but her family and friends surely did.
She was preceded in death by her husband, David, and son Tommy, both in 1977.
After the passing of her son and husband, she traveled a lot, sometimes with friends in Sweet Home and on tours. Later, she met many new friends as she volunteered at Lebanon Community Hospital.
In 1997, she moved into Wiley Creek Community, where she lived until recently, when she moved to Little Polly's Care Home. At both facilities, she was lovingly cared for.
A service will be 3 p.m. Tuesday at River of Life Fellowship. Burial will be at Liberty Cemetery under the direction of Workman & Steckly Funeral Chapel, Sweet Home (www.workmansteckly.com).
