Mary Caroline Stratton-Winters

December 11, 1935 ~
February 6, 2025

Mary Caroline Stratton-Winters, age 89, of Sparta, went to be with her Lord on Thursday, February 6, 2025. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Robert Winters; daughters, Jo-Lynn and Juan Garza, Carla and Tim Deshaw, Monica and Todd Myers; step-son, Troy and Michelle Winters; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She lived her last days as she always lived them; giving God the glory and praise, and thanking Him for everything. Our mother knew the secret of having joy in the midst of horrible circumstances and she taught it to us as well. God was the source of her joy and peace and He is the source of ours. Her family and serving others was her passion in life. Her selflessness will be dearly missed. According to her wishes, cremation has taken place and service to celebrate her life will be held on March 8, 2025 at 12:30pm at Grace Evangelical Free Church, 4714-13 Mile Road NE, Rockford, MI 49341. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial contributions to the Green Acres of Cedar Springs Activities Fund.

I was fond of Aunt Mary. I loved conversing with her. She seemed to fit in with the Winters family and enjoyed it.

I have memories of many lovely conversations with Aunt Mary. She was brimming with energy and optimism and it was always a delight to see her.

It may have taken years, (I have always been a slow learner), but ‘Grandma Stratton’, as I knew her by, planted a seed in me that eventually lead me to the Lord. I remember like it was yesterday the day that I accepted the Lord and I had a flashback to words that she once said to me which ultimately lead me to a life saving epiphany. I will never forget her. She was an amazing women.
