John J. Winzerling, 86, of Columbia, MO went to be home with the Lord on Saturday, April 12, 2021. A Memorial Mass will be 2 pm, Saturday, April 17, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 903 Bernadette Drive, with visitation from 1-2 pm at the church.
John was born July 3, 1934 in St. Louis, MO to Robert Henry and Mary Agnes Rogan Winzerling. On June 11, 1960, he married the love of his life, Flo Sheridan in St. Louis. He loved working on Model-As and old classic cars; fixing them up for shows and drive-ins. He enjoyed dressing up as Santa and visiting various people with his Elf (daughter Julie.) He also loved to garden; raising juicy tomatoes and other delicious vegetables; and that came with a never-ending feud with hungry rabbits! In 2005, he and Flo moved to Columbia to be closer to family.
He is survived by his wife, of 60 years, Flo; daughter, Julie Winzerling Patterson (David) of Columbia; grandchildren, Christopher and Melissa Patterson of Columbia; brothers, William and Rev. James Winzerling of St. Louis; nephews, Robert J. Winzerling, Stephen W. Winzerling, and Jeffery J. Winzerling and nieces, Mary Angela Wallin, Mary Laine Yarber and Jennifer A. Schouten. He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Mary Roberta Yarber, and a brother, Robert Alvin Winzerling.
Memorial Contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105.
