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.
