- Howard Lee Winder, 85, passed away at his home on Saturday, July 22, 2006, in Fallon, surrounded by his loving family.
Howard was born on March 4, 1921 in the Harmon District of Fallon and was a lifelong Fallon resident. He attended the Harmon School in his youth and graduated from Churchill County High School in 1941. He served his country during World War II, first in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, and later in the Office of Strategic Services.
After the war he returned to Fallon and assumed his lifetime career of ranching. He continued to run the family ranch until lung cancer forced him to slow down at the age of 84.
Howard was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, kind and gentle in spirit, strong in purpose and always welcoming to friends, family and visitors. Many will rememberr him for his barbecues at home and for the family Labor Day party in Fallon. No matter the occasion, Howard always made visitors feel welcome in his home.
Howard loved to fish, hunt and camp, and made the summer trips to Big Creek and Lahontan a summer tradition for his family and friends. He continued the summer fishing trips with his wife and grandson, Colt, until failing health forced him to stop. Howard was a past member of the 20-30 Club and Fallon Lions Club.
Howard is survived by his wife of 62 years, Isabelle "Sis" Winder; his daughter, Patty Daniels of Fallon and his son and daughter-in-law, James and Cheryl Winder of Reno. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Jaime, Justin and Colt Daniels; great-granddaughter, Reille Daniels; nieces, Lizanne Huntsman and Elizabeth Johnson and nephews, Rod Johnson and Richard Getto.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Kathryn Murphy Winder; father, Walter Winder; sisters, Kate O'Hara and Emma Lou Solaegui; brothers, John and George Winder and son-in-law, Larry Daniels.
Funeral services are scheduled for Thursday, July 27 at 10 a.m. at the Smith Family Funeral Home with burial to follow in the Churchill County Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Howard's memory may be made to the Harmon School Association, 1205 S. Harmon Road, Fallon, NV, 89406.
