The gale force wind that was Anita Lynn Winkler shifted to a whisper May 5th, 2026.

Anita Winkler, born January 22, 1956 in Kissimmee, Florida. She left this world the same way she lived in it — with style, sass, and a whole lot of love.

Daughter of Emily and Leonard Davis, Anita was a kind hearted firecracker who adored animals, crafting, Christmas shopping, and placing a sports wager with absolute confidence (even when the odds disagreed).

Anita loved her people fiercely, shopped like it was a competitive sport, and could deliver a sweet compliment and a sharp comeback in the same breath. Her laughter, her generosity, and her legendary sass will be missed more than words can say.

Anita has joined her husband Lawrence Winkler in a warm, peaceful place where they can spend eternity together.

She is survived by her sister, two sons, one daughter, one daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and four great grandchildren, all of whom inherited her stubborn streak and her soft heart.

May her slot machines always pay out and her Christmas sales be eternal.
