Winnie Jo had a love of music and singing and instilled that in her children. She was fond of the harmonica and taught herself to play. She was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ. She worked in sales in Brownfield for forty years and was very active in ranching with her husband.
Those left behind to cherish her memory are daughters Sue Rowland of Seattle, Lea Criswell of Lubbock, Peggy and her husband Richard Lentz of Hobbs, New Mexico, son-in-law Arnold Schlueter of Farmington, New Mexico, sister Mildred Caffey, sister-in-law Florine Pace, 11 grandchildren, also great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren.
