Winston was born June 1, 1941, in Enid, OK, and passed away on May 28, 2020. He attended Kremlin High School, Phillips University, and Oklahoma State University. On August 14, 1992, Winston married his best friend and the love of his life, Debera Jeanne, who preceded him in death in November of 2016. The two enjoyed traveling and spending time with family and friends. Winston was two parts ornery and one part sweet. He enjoyed telling a good joke and always had a twinkle in his eye. He loved to create, whether it be furniture, rocking horses, home additions, or delicious meals to share with family and friends. He cared for animals throughout his life, especially his beloved dogs, horses, and most recently, the opossum who took up residence in his backyard and with whom he’d share leftovers.
