Lee Ann Winkler

It is with great sadness the family of Lee Ann Winkler announces her passing. Born July 26, 1998 in College Station, Texas to Sue and Larry Winkler. Lee Ann was the youngest, and by far the coolest, of their seven children.

Lee Ann Winkler was a fiery force of life and a billowing creative spirit with a deep desire to help others. Lee Ann graduated high school from KOR Education School in College Station,Texas and then went on to pursue a degree in psychology at the University of Texas-Tyler with the desire to become a mental health care professional and advocate to those who struggle with mental health challenges. Lee Ann was passionate about music, poetry, photography, writing, and art and expressed herself generously by sharing these passions with others. Lee Ann was also the snuggliest person in the history of the world; she carted a blanket around with her even as an adult perpetually ready for a fireside chat.

Visitation for Lee Ann Winkler begins at 9am with a service to follow at 10am on Friday April 28th at Callaway-Jones Funeral Home in Bryan, Texas. Internment immediately to follow at Restever Memorial Park Cemetery.

Lee Ann is survived by her mother and father Sue and Larry Winkler, her sisters: Marianna Conner, Phyllis Deitz (Greg), Catharina James (Jonathan), and Sally Winkler, her brothers: Matthew Winkler (Sunni) and Benjamin Winkler and her grandmothers: Barbara Sue “Bobbie” Walkup and Lora Geraldine “Nanny” Winkler.
