Winger, Alton Leo
Alton Leo Winger OGDEN - Early in the spring morning, of Monday, June 13, 2005
Alton left this earthly life to reunite with his father, mother, four brothers
and one sister. After struggling with his health for more than two years he
was ready to go home. In his words: My life is the story of a common man who
never achieved great fame, and never wanted it. Just a man that loved his
family, believed in being honest, admired the beautiful things in life,
cherished his freedom, loved the Lord, and believed that every one was
entitled to enjoy life as long as they upheld good principles. Alton Leo
Winger was born September 23, 1924 in Preston, Idaho, the son of Asa Loren and
Merelda Taylor Winger. After attending Preston High School he entered the Navy
in 1943 to serve in the Solomon Islands during World War II. He returned to
marry his eternal sweetheart, Donna Beckstead, on May 21, 1945 in Ogden, Utah.
They were later sealed in the Logan LDS Temple. He worked as a welder for the
U.S. Government, where he received several awards for his inventions to make
work quicker and easier. After retiring in 1975, Alton began his own business
painting and hanging wallpaper both commercially and for friends and
neighbors. He loved to work and taught his family the joys of working hard,
caring for the earth and those you love. There was always enough in his garden
to feed the family and neighborhood as well as beauty for the soul. He showed
his kindness and generosity by serving in the Bishopric, High Priest Group
Leader, and Young Men's Organizations. His later years were spent in doing
extensive genealogy work, traveling with his wife, brother Earl and
sister-in-law Barbara, and caring for all those he loved. He served as an
example to all and will be greatly missed but always remembered for his
positive attitude, forgiving and accepting nature, work ethic, honesty, and
being so proud of his family. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Donna
Beckstead Winger; one daughter, Irene (Bob) Thurston; grandchildren, Melissa
(Mark) Atkinson, Adam (Jeneen) Murdock, and Matthew (Amy) Murdock; six
great-grandchildren; and his brother Earl (Barbara) Winger. Our family wishes
