Alison M. Winkler (nee Dittmar) of Mickleton, NJ passed away April 8, 2025 at the age of 56. Beloved wife of Frank Winkler, devoted mother to Ashley (Csaba), Alicia, and Ryan, cherished sister to Steve (Nancy) Petrillo, long time bf to Sandra (Carmen), sweet aunt and great aunt to many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving parents Ferdinand "Jack" and Alice Dittmar.
Alison built a life for her family and a home that was filled with love, respect, kindness and laughter. An animal lover at heart, she treated all her fur babies like her children and was always quick to feed and find shelter for a stray.
Her impeccable taste for fashion was known to all who met her. She would get compliments about her style and shoes even while out grocery shopping. She loved everything spooky, especially watching scary movies. She had a knack for crafting and spent many hours painting pottery, making seasonal wreaths and holiday centerpieces.
Her children and husband meant the world to her and her loyalty to her friends and family was like no other. She will be missed by all. Per her request, her memorial is private.
