Terry Winter

Terry J. Winter, 71, passed onto eternal life on Saturday, August 21, 2021.

He was born December 7, 1949 to Chester and Doris (Luedke) Winter. On 7/7/07 he married Karen Schmidt. Terry worked for Marathon Mail Services and enjoyed driving his truck across country.

Terry enjoyed sports, building and renovating projects, and a good Hallmark Movie! He loved his family with all of his heart, and loved watching his children and grandchildren play sports. He even was good for a few pointers! He had a perfectionist personality, with a heart of gold in his jokes and phrases we all will miss. His curious mind and Christian values truly made him the loving man he was to his family and friends. May God Bless the memory of Terry Winter.

He is survived by wife, Karen; children, Ami Johnson, Leah Koskey, Cheri (Chris) Ress, Kati (Jeff) Gress, Becki (Nic) Winter Sienko, Terry Schmidt, Logan (Emmy) Trautman; sisters, Barbara Stewart and Yvonne (Jay) Mokry; sisters-in-law, Fay Winter, Ellen (Jack) McDonald; brothers-in-law, Robert Schmidt, Lloyd (Lori) Schmidt, Jeff Schmidt; grandchildren, Jacob, William and Owen Ress, Matthew and Makayla Gress, Carli Johnson, Elsie and Maysie Winter Sienko, Dustyn Schmidt, Alex Salisbury, Logan and Connor Trautman; great-granddaughter, Delyla Schmidt, and special fur buddy, Teddy.
