| Notes |
- Isabelle Elizabeth Winder, known to her friends and family as "Sis", passed away Sunday, December 7, 2008, in a Reno hospital at the age of 85. Sis was born May 1, 1923, in Fallon, where she was a lifelong resident. She grew up on the family ranch, helping her parents and loving the time she spent with the horses.
After graduating from Churchill County High School in 1941, she attended Armstrong Business College in Berkley, CA. Sis returned to Fallon after college, and in the summer of 1944, married Howard Winder while he was home on leave from the army. Howard was transferred to Washington D.C., and Sis drove there to be with him. At the end of the war, they returned to Fallon and the family ranch. Sis was devoted to her family and always welcomed friends to her home. She was active in local clubs and services, and always took a huge role in her children's activities. She loved to fish and camp, and summer trips to Big Creek and Lahonton were a family tradition. Sis was a sports fan, and when she was not working, she was rooting for her favorite football or baseball team.
Her daughter, Patty Daniels of Fallon, and her son, James Winder of Reno, survive Sis. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Jaime Daniels of Reno, Justin Daniels of Salmon, ID, and Colt Daniels of Fallon, as well as great-grandchildren, Reillie Daniels and McCall Daniels; nieces, Lizanne Huntsman and Elizabeth Johnson, and nephews, Roderick Johnson and Richard Getto. Her husband Howard, parents Cecyl and James Johnson, and brothers, Roderick and James Johnson Jr. preceded her in death.
Funeral services are scheduled for 1 p.m., Thursday, December 11, 2008 at the Smith Family Funeral Home in Fallon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Churchill Animal Protection Society, PO Box 5128, Fallon NV 89507.
