Destiny VanWinkle

Destiny Vanwinkle, age 46, of Louisville, Kentucky passed away unexpectedly at the age of 46. Born August 9th, 1976 to Terry VanWinkle and Karen Simmons, Destiny left this earth to join her mother on January 28th, 2023.

Left to cherish her memory are her father Terry (Linda); her brother Ray (Stephanie); sisters Heather, Michele and Char; her children whom she loved in her own way, Desarain (Dastin), McKenna (Alex), Reece (Alexandria) and Chance (Eryica); her grandchildren Jordan, Jayla, Ja'Meer and Charlee; cousin Amberly (Eric); niece Devin; nephews Travis, Trevor and Michael; along with many extended family and friends.

Destiny was best known as a Mom, Sister, Daughter, Granny, Aunt, Cuz and Friend. She was a wildflower that could never be planted in one place for too long. Her beautiful smile lit up every room she entered, and if you didn't see her walk in the room, you certainly could hear her! Destiny loved dogs, especially her fur-baby Toby, who she is surely reunited with in Heaven. They are taking pictures together while on long walks through God's Garden, full of light pink flowers (her favorite color).

Destiny, you are now warm, safe and can rest peacefully, out of harm's way. We will let all our worries for you go now. You have earned your wings to fly free and are now our guardian angel. Fly high, baby girl, fly high!

A Memorial Ceremony for Destiny will be held on Thursday, February 9th, 2023 beginning at 5:00pm at Shively Christian Church, 1822 Kendall Lane, Louisville, KY 40216.
