Obituary published on Legacy.com by Simplicity Funeral & Cremation Care - Indianapolis on Mar. 5, 2026.
Garold Edward Winzenread, 90, of Greenwood, Indiana, passed away at home on March 2, 2026. He was born on September 11th, 1935, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Russell and Eleanor (Myers) Winzenread.

Garold leaves a 90+ year legacy; highlighted by 65 years of marriage to the love of his life, 2 children, 5 grandchildren and what would have been his first great grandchild on the way. He was a family man and had the heart of a teacher. This served him well during his almost 30 years as a well - loved educator at Indianapolis Public Schools. He was a proud member of the RAKKASANS, serving in the 187th Airborne Division. He was a man who always said what he thought, stood on his beliefs, and he was usually right. He will be greatly missed.

Garold is survived by his wife: Roberta Winzenread; brother: Marvin (Jo) Winzenread; children: Elizabeth Chandler and Gary (Patty) Winzenread; grandchildren: Samantha (Brett), Hyli (Chris), Gary Jr., Joel and Evan.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Russell & Eleanor Winzenread; and daughter: Mary Katherine Winzenread.
