Winifred Irene Spedoske, "Winnie" age 91, of Stanwood, passed away December 07, 2019 in Muskegon, with her daughter Sharon, son-in-law Boyd and grandson Eric by her side. She was born to the late Earl R. and Marvis B. Sharp, March 11, 1928. Winnie graduated from Big Rapids High School in 1946. She loved going to school and in fact would have her father take her to school if the bus was unable to reach her because of the snow. She worked and stayed in Big Rapids during the week so that she could finish high school. On January 18, 1947 she married Glen W. Spedoske and together they had seven children; Sharon (Boyd) Rusco, Barry (Lis McNeil) Spedoske, Valerie Holcomb, Linda (Joseph) Tomasunas, Glenda (James) Fryman, Lee Spedoske, and Randy (Elizabeth) Spedoske. These seven gave her 31 grandchildren, 67 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Winnie loved numbers and could tell you each and everyones birthday, even the spouses. Amazingly, if she ever knew your birthday, she never forgot it. Winnie was the oldest of nine children. She was known to keep her four sisters and four brothers in line, especially if they walked on her clean kitchen floor. She was loved by all who knew her, especially her grandchildren. She would stand for hours on Saturday mornings making them her special pancakes and homemade syrup. Then she could be found in the big picture window waving goodbye as each family left for home. Many friends would visit on Sunday afternoons hoping to get a piece of one of her delicious apple pies. Winnie was loving, kind and beautiful; never lost her temper - not even once - to her childrens recollection. She was a positive person. She was baptized as one of Jehovahs Witnesses in August, 1958. Winnie was very strong in her faith. Winifred is survived by her sister Geraldine J. (Sharp) and husband, Dale Bell; brother-in-law, Dutch Bell and sister-in-law, Sue (Wood) Sharp. She was preceded in death by her husband, Glen W. Spedoske; her son, Lee A. Spedoske; son-in-law William E. Holcomb and daughter-in-law, Judy Spedoske; grand-children, Jill (Rusco) Pixley and Robert "Bobby" Spedoske; granddaughter in-law, Roxanne Rusco; two sisters, Wilma M. Sharp and Beatrice W. Sharp-Bell; one sister and brother-in-law Beverly A. (Sharp) and David Cousineau; two brothers, Gilbert Sharp and Glenn V. Sharp; two brothers and sister-in-laws, Robert E. and Kay Sharp and Gerald E. and Helen Sharp.
