Obituary for Jean E. Winkler
On Monday, February 5, 2018 in Gettysburg, PA, Jean Eileen (Wagner) Winkler, 89, passed from this world to the next and will be greatly missed by her family.
She was born on June 10, 1928 to the late John V. and Emma C. (Haferd) Wagner in Carey, Ohio. She was married nearly 68 years to George R. Winkler (deceased) and lived in many states over the years they were together.
Jean, like her mother, was a very avid bingo player, and over the years was on many a bowling team wherever she lived. She enjoyed gardening and being outdoors in the fresh air, along with doing quilting, jigsaw puzzles and a good game of 500 Rummy. Jean, her husband Bob, sister Glenna and her husband Frank also took a few cruises over the years together to various places in the world.
Besides being a wife she is the mother of five children: Barbara (Mike) Tipple of Columbia Station, Ohio; Karl Winkler of Wilmington, N. Carolina; Tom Winkler of Gettysburg, PA; Bobbie (Bob) Hackley of Queentown, Maryland; and Lisa (Ray) High of Hapeville, Georgia. Her children have given her eleven grandchildren: Joshua & Kristopher Tipple and Jennifer Cross Harris of Ohio; Karl Winkler of Colorado and David Winkler of Ohio; Joe Winkler; Jamey Dahlgren and Jessika Shereika of Maryland and Ashley Hackley of Virginia; and Ashley, Angel and Austin Winkler of Georgia and they added 16 great grandchildren.
Besides children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, she is survived by her brothers Jim (Sue) and John (Bev) Wagner, sister Lou Andrews, brother-in-law Tom Winkler, sister-in-laws Barbara and Betty Wagner, 11 nephews and 6 nieces, and many great and great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, brothers Luke, Wayne and Paul Wagner, sisters Maxine Franklin and Glenna Bayer, sister-in-laws Margie Wagner and Kathy Winkler, brother-in-laws Frank Bayer and Joe Winkler, 3 nieces and 1 nephew.
She came from a large family and left us with an even bigger family to remember her.

There will be a viewing at the funeral home on Sunday, February 11th from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM.
