Winters, 92, of Waukon, IA, died Saturday, September 28, 2019, at her home. Funeral services will be held Thursday, October 3rd, at 11:00 AM at Martin Funeral Home in Waukon with Chaplain Patrick Malanaphy officiating. Burial will be at Oakland Cemetery, Waukon. Friends may call one hour before services on Thursday at the funeral home. Lillian Mae Winters was born February 5, 1927, in Ossian, IA, the daughter of Gustav and Julia (Tollefson) Russell. She was baptized at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Castalia, IA, attended country school, and helped her dad on the farm. Lillian also helped area families by taking care of new mothers and their families; besides caring for the children, she also did the household chores and the cooking. It was during this time that Lillian really honed her cooking and baking skills and became an amazing cook as an adult; she always made enough food to feed an army and no one could make fried chicken quite like her. On December 21, 1945, she married Lynn Marvin Winters at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, IA. They farmed together in Allamakee and Winneshiek Counties before moving into Waukon, IA, in 1965. Lillian worked at Iowa Turkey Products in Postville, IA, for a time and also waitressed at The Fireplace in Waukon. She later worked at the speaker plant and then for Northern Engraving in Waukon, where she worked for 21 years until retiring in 1995. Lillian loved spending time with family and friends. With her stepmother Eleanor, she traveled to the country music hotspots in Nashville and Branson. She liked playing cards and somehow always knew what cards everyone else was holding and wasn't afraid to let you know how to play them. She enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and planting flowers as well. Lillian liked watching golf, especially Phil Mickelson, and the St. Louis Cardinals. She is survived by her seven children: Linda (David) Lucas of Central City, IA, Julie (Raymond) Ryan of Cedar Rapids, IA, Jean (Darrell) Stone of Waukon, Charles (Iris) Winters of Anamosa, IA, Robert (Pam) Winters of Waukon, Margie (Ray) Burroughs of Waukon, and Larry (Tammi) Winters of La Crosse, WI; 17 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; eight great-great-grandchildren; a brother Norman Russell of International Falls, MN; and several nieces and nephews. Lillian was preceded in death by her parents; stepmother Eleanor Smith Russell; husband Lynn in 2001; two brothers: Richard and James Russell; and four sisters: Joyce Weber, Mary Russell, Gladys Little, and Lois Russell. Honorary casketbearers are Margie and Ray Burroughs, Robert Winters, Marco Walz, Kristina Hoewing, Heather and Tracey Ryan, Amy Stiennon, Rhonda Ash, Kristine Orme, Darcy Troester, Abby, Katie, Nicole, and Stephanie Winters, and Kim Rolfs. Casketbearers are Jeremy, Eric, Mark, and Dillion Stone, Jesse Burroughs, and Benjamin Winters. She will be missed more than words could ever say. Life without her will never be the same for any of us. We know she is now free of pain and suffering. Heaven gained an Angel when they gained our Mom. We will miss you forever until we see you again …. "You can shed tears because they are gone, or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can't see them, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember only that they are gone or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind and feel empty, or you can do what they would want: smile, open your heart, love, and go on." - Elizabeth Ammons
