Blanche Ann Winters age 97 of Lexington passed
away peacefully Saturday, March 23, 2013 at
Gregston Nursing Home in Marlow. She was born on
October 21, 1915 in Harrah, OK. Blanche was the
7th child of 11 children born to Pete Manek and
Pearl (Phillips) Manek. Blanche grew up a farm
girl living in the Harrah community. On the farm
she learned how to work hard as a young girl and
she continued that same work ethic throughout
her life. As a teenager she began working for
Wilson Meat Packaging Company in OKC where she
later met her husband, J.C. Winters. They were
married on July 14, 1938 in Moore, OK and made
their home in the OKC area, where they raised
three children, Carolyn, Ronald and Rock.
Blanche worked for over 30 years at Wilson’s
before retiring. In 1977 she and J. C. moved to
a farm southeast of Lexington where she remained
living until her health began to fail last year.
Throughout her life, Blanche loved working in
her flower and vegetable gardens. She enjoyed
