Bonnie Winters

Bonnie Sue Winters 1950 – 2025

It is with great love and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Bonnie Winters, age 75, of Taylor, Texas. Bonnie was born in Georgetown, Texas, and passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas.

Bonnie dedicated many years of service to the State of Texas through Texas Health and Human Services – Fair and Fraud Hearings, where she worked tirelessly until her retirement. She was known for her integrity, her strong work ethic, and the compassion she carried into every aspect of her life.

A lifelong Lutheran, Bonnie was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and made sure her children were too. She was a devoted and active member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Taylor, where she found community, comfort, and joy.

Bonnie was the oldest of five children, born to Arabelle Peace and Oscar Tschoerner, both of whom preceded her in death. She is survived by her sister Darlene Grissom and her brother Lealean Peace, and is preceded in death by her sisters Tina Carr and Joyce Rhea.

She was the proud mother of three daughters:

• -Jeni Anders and her husband Rex Anders, and their children Codi Culbertson (fiancé Ryan Fitschen), Codi’s children Cashiana Noack and Lawson Culbertson, Shelby Anders, and Ariana Anders
• -Tracy Roman, and her children Amber Roman and husband Brian Koenig, Olivia Winters, and William Matetzschk
• -Melonie Peace, and her daughter Holly Sebring and spouse Bryan Sebring, and Holly’s child Isabelle Sebring

She is also lovingly remembered by her stepdaughters, Elaine Winters and Liz Chaplin (spouse Al Chaplin). Elaine’s children—Josh Winters, Brenna Anderson, and Brandon Winters—as well as her son Donald Ray Winters, who preceded her in death, held a special place in Bonnie’s heart. Liz’s children, John Winters and Tiffany Chaplin, were also very dear to her.

Bonnie helped raise her great-nephew Trey Carr, whom she loved like a son. She grew up in Jarrell, Texas, later building her home and life in Taylor, Texas. Throughout the years, she shared her home with Tracy, Amber, Trey, William, and Olivia, creating many cherished memories. In the last year and a half of her life, she lived with Jeni, Rex, and granddaughter Shelby, where they enjoyed precious time together. Bonnie also shared a special bond with her caregiver, Courtney Gray, spending many hours watching soaps and game shows, caring for plants, and crocheting together. She also loved spending quiet moments with her children and grandchildren, often watching episodes of The Golden Girls, snuggled up with whichever child was lucky enough to be by her side at the moment.

Bonnie was the heart of her family. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, MoMo, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend. She had a gift for making everyone feel loved. She attended every game, recital, competition, and event her children and grandchildren were involved in—always supporting them, encouraging them, and being there whenever she was needed. She had the biggest heart and did anything and everything for others.

She had a true green thumb, loved her plants and hummingbirds, and enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and creating beautiful homemade clothes, blankets, cakes, and gifts for her family. Bonnie also loved painting her nails cobalt blue, her favorite color. Friends and family are invited to wear cobalt blue or hummingbird-themed attire in her honor. Bonnie’s sweet tooth—and her love of Dr Pepper—were known by all who loved her. She was beautiful inside and out, and everyone who knew her felt her kindness.

A Celebration of Life for Bonnie will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Taylor, Texas, with Pastor Scott Schaller officiating. Friends and family are warmly invited to join us as we gather to honor and celebrate her beautiful life. For those wishing to bring flowers, they may be delivered to the church beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. A meal will follow the service in the church fellowship hall. Bonnie will be cremated at a later date, but her loved ones will come together to remember her kindness, her strength, and the joy she brought to everyone she knew.

Bonnie’s love, warmth, and unwavering support will continue to live on in all the hearts she imprinted on throughout her life. She will be deeply, deeply missed.
