Winnie loved ballroom dancing and had traveled all over the country competing in Ballroom competitions. She continued to dance up until the age of 85. She was a master seamstress, making many of her ball gowns and costumes for the dancers. Per her wishes, she was dressed in her favorite ball gown and dancing shoes so that she can continue to dance in heaven. Every day she would say “I just want to dance one more time”.

There will be no calling hours or services at this time. There will be a private memorial service with family in June.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Defenbaugh Wise Schoedinger Funeral Home, Circleville. In lieu of flowers donations in her honor may be made to the charity of your choice.
