It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Van Winkle. Betty lived in Oracle since 1964 with her husband, Raymond.
Betty was born in Florence, Arizona. She and her siblings (seven all together) grew up on a cotton farm in Florence, Arizona, with her parents, Tom and Jessie Rankin.
Betty and Raymond lived in Germany while Raymond served in the military, and then moved to Oracle where she worked at Pat and Mikes for 30 years.
She is survived by her children, John Van Winkle (Dale), Pat Thielen (Mike), Linda Williams (Bob), Rocky Van Winkle (Karen) and eight grandchildren, and many, many great grandchildren
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 13th, time to be announced.
She is forever in our hearts.
