Sandra Winnes, age 81, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin entered into eternal life Friday, July 28, 2023 at St. Clare Hospital in Baraboo surrounded by her loving family.

Sandy was born on October 27, 1941 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Helmuth and Dorothy (Schroeder) Bremer. She was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Milwaukee and confirmed at Capitol Drive Lutheran Church. Sandy graduated from Wisconsin Dells High School in 1959 and married Fritz Winnes on November 17, 1963, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Wisconsin Dells and were married for 54 years until his death in 2018. While co-owning the Coast to Coast Hardware Store, Sandy worked as the cook for Trinity Lutheran School's lunch program. Sandy began working for the United States Postal Service in 1979 and continued on as a rural mail carrier until she retired in 2001. In retirement, she served on the Trinity Lutheran Church Board of Stewards. Sandy had a kind heart and enjoyed watching out for her postal customers, sharing garden produce, stollen, and Vienna torte with friends and family, and caring for the lonely who needed her support. Her favorite retirement pastime was enjoying the wildlife in her backyard and thanking God for his marvelous works.

Sandy is survived by her daughters, Dorothy (Raymond) Marvin, Bobbi (Christopher) Soyke and Vicki Winnes; grandchildren, Christopher, Devin (Robyn), Tanner (Jesse), Cassandra (Zach), Alexandra, Lauren and Leah; great-grandchildren, Hazel, Gordon, Finley and Josette.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Fritz; son, Matthew; sister-in-law, Marlene Nelson, and brothers, Norbert and Jack.

The family would like to thank Dr. Randy Krszjzaniek for his many years of friendship and excellent care, Pastor Matthew Gehrke and Pastor Jonathan Tipton for their spiritual guidance and the staff of St. Clare Hospital and SSM Cardiac Rehab for their support during Sandy's health journey.
