- MINERAL WELLS, TX - No services were held for Johniev T. "Pet" Winscot, 76, who died on Nov. 18, 2008.
She was born Jan. 5, 1932, in Mineral Wells, TX, to John and Genevie Smith Trollinger. "Pet" married her lifelong hunting and fishing partner, Charley "Sarge" Winscot Sr. on July 11, 1953, in Ft Worth, TX. Together they lived in several western states including many years in Ketchikan, AK; then several Wyoming towns most recently Sheridan, Shoshoni and Riverton.
They spent countless days the last 10 years at Lake DeSmet and Boysen Reservoir even though her Alzheimer's was rapidly progressing.
She was a quiet, smiling, kind soul who found the good in everyone and loved deeply.
In July of 2007, with her caregiver husband in the later stages of terminal cancer and needing a caregiver himself, she was taken to Texas to be near her brothers, where they admitted her to the Mineral Wells Nursing Home.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Virgil and Bob; and her loving husband of 54 years, Charley Sr, on Dec. 7, 2007.
She is survived by brothers, Lester, David, Dale and James Trollinger; stepsons, Douglas, Daniel, Charley Jr., and Raymond Winscot, and other extended family including, Harriet Sowers of Casper and Robert Winscot of Omaha, NE; Leila Blake of Evansville, David Sowers of Dubois; and other nieces, nephews, grand, great-grand and great-great grandchildren.
In lieu of donations, please take the time to teach a child to fish in her memory.
