Lasting Memories

Macca Christine Winnburg
Oct. 14, 1913-Dec. 17, 2012
Menlo Park, California

Macca Christine Winnbury, 99, was joyfully greeted in heaven by Our Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Saints before her on Monday, December 17, 2012.

She was the child of James Hunter Chandler and Julia Stone. Her sisters Louise Turner (Claude) and Marguerite Lewis (David) preceded her in death, as did her first husband, Eric Charles Twist, and second husband, Frank Edward Winnburg.

She was born in Nanton, Alberta, Canada on the family farm and moved to Southern California when she was ten. However, she lived most of her life in Northern California, moving here after the death of her first husband. She met her second husband at Sequoia High School where they were both teachers.

She will be remembered fondly by many former students at Sequoia and Woodside High Schools where she taught for many years before retiring. She leaves her daughter, Margaret (Peggy) Twist Fry (Jeryl), three grandchildren, Jay Fry (Grete), Oscar Fry (Jackie) and Bruce Fry (Lora). Together she has seven great grandchildren, Margaret and Jerylin (Jay & Grete), Regan, Kyle and Luke (Oscar and Jackie), and Mohrgan and Julia (Bruce & Lora).

Macca received her education at Chapman University and Occidental College and continued on to proudly obtain her Master?s Degree from Stanford University. She was a loyal Stanford Alum and always enjoyed going to the football games, especially the Big Game, since her daughter was a CAL graduate.

She enjoyed volunteering and spent many years as a volunteer at Allied Arts Guild. She also took up painting and sculpting in her later years and her works remain as an ongoing memorial to her.

Special thanks to her devoted and beloved caregivers, Margaret Chinappa and Josephina Baratang, and the staff of Odyssey Healthcare. Donations in her memory can be sent to Lucille Packard Stanford Children?s Hospital, 400 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto, 94301 or to the charity of your choice. Services will be private.
