Jean C. Winans

Jean C. Winans, 93, of Payne,  passed away Saturday, June 18, 2022 at Vancrest of Payne.

Jean was born in Fort Wayne on December 23, 1928, a daughter of the late Lucille (Flaugh) and Oscar Miller.

She was a Registered Nurse at Paulding County Hospital and Wayne Trace Schools. Jean had a servants heart that showed in the care of her patients, students and the family that she treasured. Jean never hesitated to lend a hand on their family farm, delivering meals, driving a truck or tractor as needed. She was a devout member of Saint Paul United Methodist Church and Van Wert Chapter #48 Order of the Eastern Star.
