Wayne Winslow Obituary
Sept. 30, 1932 - March 9, 2012
Wayne was born in Omaha, NE, moved to Brighton, CO at age 7 with parents and raised throughout various towns in that state. Would often refer to his parents as gypsies, as they seemed to always be moving. He entered the United States Navy in January 1, 1952, and was discharged at Treasure Island in December 1955. Settled in So. Calif., and was employed by Pacific Bell, retiring from there in Dec. 1986. The majority of his tenure was in Whittier, CA, where he resided with his then wife, Jessica A. Winslow, daughter Sharron and Sheila and son Steven. Both his ex-wife and son preceded him in death. He is survived by his daughters Sharron and Sheila, granddaughters: Wendy, Kim, Brandy and grandson Rick Minor III, and great-grandchildren: Phelan Minor and Hope Ayala. Brothers: Jerry & Bernice of San Leandro, CA., Roger & Constance of Sonoma, CA., Dewey & Bea of Beatrice, NE., and sister Bev Winslow of Fresno, CA. Numerous nieces and nephews. We will all miss him.
Service to be held Sunday, March 18, 2012, 1:00 p.m., at Rose Hills Memorial Chapel, Gate # 1, 3888 Workman Mill Rd.,
