Clara Marcelle Kirkpatrick

Marcie was born on May 12, 1926, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Russell and Flossie Hodson. She graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in 1944 and began her career working as a secretary. In 1946, she married her first husband, William H. Winzenread, a lieutenant in the United States Army. Their marriage spanned forty-one happy years until his passing.

As an Army wife, Marcie embraced a life of adventure and service, traveling and living in many parts of the world, including Germany, Guam, and Alaska. When Bill retired from the Army in 1963, they settled in sunny Cape Coral, among the city’s early residents.

In 1970, Marcie and Bill joined Palmetto Pine Country Club as its 40th members when the club first opened. Marcie loved playing golf and bridge with her dear friends at the country club and proudly served as President of the Ladies Association for the 1992–1993 season. An avid and accomplished golfer, Marcie was blessed to score five holes-in-one, a feat she delighted in sharing with family and friends.

Marcie was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, William Winzenread; her second husband, William Kirkpatrick; and three beloved sons, Dean Winzenread, Ronnie Winzenread, and Dale Winzenread.

She is survived by her sons Steve (Cheryl) Winzenread of Seattle, Washington, and Mark (Kim) Winzenread of Cape Coral; her daughter-in-law Gail Murphy of Ravena, New York; and her cherished grandchildren: Chris Winzenread; Jennifer (Brian) Duarte; Nicole (Jeff) Coulter; Sara (Kevin) Tarnowski; Eric Winzenread; Aimee Winzenread; Hannah (Kyle) Nardolillo; Kayla (Kyle) Reitz; Alyssa Winzenread; and Brett Winzenread, along with seven great-grandchildren, who were a constant source of joy and pride in her life.

A celebration of her life will be held on February 21, 2026, at Coral Ridge Funeral Home and Cemetery, 950 Chiquita Boulevard S, Cape Coral, FL 33991, (239) 283-0540. Visitation will begin inside the funeral home chapel at 12:00 p.m., with the funeral service beginning at 1:00 PM. Immediately thereafter, family and friends will recess to the adjacent cemetery for entombment of Marcie's casket inside the Honor Garden Mausoleum.

Marcie will be remembered for her strength, grace, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her long life was marked by love, friendship, and quiet dignity, and she leaves behind a legacy that will be cherished by all who knew her.
