Mrs. Winans died June 6, 2002.
She was born June 3, 1919, in Dillon, Mont., to Fred and Mae Crampton, who were ranchers and homesteaders outside Dillon until the late 1980s.
In 1930, the family moved to Stockton, Calif., where Mrs. Winans attended first through eighth grade at August School. In 1939, she graduated from Red Bluff High School and married Charlie Winans on July 5. In 1989, the couple celebrated their 50th anniversary at Walley's Resort and Hot Springs in Genoa.
Mrs. Winans and her husband operated their first furniture store in Alameda, Calif., from 1960 to 1965. Then, while visiting Fallon, they decided to open their first Nevada store. In 1970, they sold the business to their son Jim and his wife Ruth and daughter Linda and her husband Larry Yoder.
