Don O. Winslow passed away September 15, 2020 at his home in Cashion, OK. Don was born in December of 1944 in Evansville, Indiana to Mary Belle Winslow Williamson and Leslie Oland Winslow. The family moved to Oklahoma City in 1946. Don attended Cleveland Elementary, Taft Junior High and Northwest Classen. He lived in Colony, KS his junior and senior years of high school, graduating from Colony High School in 1963. Don attended Central State University where he met his wife Cheryl. Don and Cheryl were married June 24, 1967 in Oklahoma City. Don proudly served his country as a member of the Air National Guard for 6 years receiving the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon. It is here that he learned skills in electronics that lead to his career with IBM. He was honorably discharged in 1971with the rank of TSgt. Don started his career at IBM in 1967 and retired in 1997 after 30 years as a customer engineer where he made life-long friends. After retiring Don also worked at Hertz and Hobby Lobby.

Don and Cheryl and their 2 girls moved to Cashion in 1978. Don built the house where he also passed away. He completed all phases of the construction of the family home; foundation, rough-in, roof, electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and all finish work. There really was nothing that he couldn’t do, nothing that he couldn’t fix. Don was always working on something or had a project going right up to the evening before his death. He was a proud blood donor, donating 100’s of gallons of blood and also volunteered on the Logan County Water Board for several years.

Don loved spending time at his house at Grand Lake and of course working on projects at the lake house. He loved spending time with his grandkids, bicycle riding, and grilling. Don is predeceased by his mother and father, special uncles Dr. T.O. Osborn, Junior Whitmore, cousins, Howdy Bill and Maureen Morrow.

Don is survived by his wife of 53 years, Cheryl Winslow of the home, daughters, Heather Winslow and her significant other, Greg Silvernail of OKC. Lindsay Winslow and her husband Burt Gowdy of OKC, grandkids, Luke, Madison and Kamdon (whose first name includes his grandpas), sisters Bonnie Winslow and Marietta Winslow Real, aunt Flora Nell Whitmore, Sister-in-law Mary Hall and husband Jerry, and numerous other nephews, cousins, past co-workers, and life-long friends.
