Sue Helen Winget's Obituary
Sue Helen Winget was born to Joseph Stout and Helen Scott Hartman on October 1, 1937. Sue married Jerry Dale Winget, the love of her life, on December 26, 1958. Sue joined her husband and loved ones on Monday November 10, 2025, at 7:22 am. Sue was 88 years old and lived a full, remarkable life. She was a brilliant gift to Joe and Helen - who had waited 7 long years for a child. Sue was worth the wait. Born in Durango, Colorado, and raised in the small town of Aztec, New Mexico, Sue always knew adventure, the love of family, the love of community, and the love of God. She loved time with her parents, aunts, uncle, and cousins and could recite all the wonderful family gatherings and especially the Scott family stories. Sue worked around horses and sheep with her Dad and learned to love great books and literature from her Mom. She graduated Suma cum laude with a B.A. in Education from the University of New Mexico. She taught middle school and high school English and Home Economics. Jerry said Sue was the “fastest cook in the West”! She made sure her family was always well fed, clothes in top shape, and home full of love and learning. After her kids flew the coop Sue went to a night class and became an Emergency Medical Technician and joined the Sandia Ski Patrol. She loved skiing and time in the mountains. Sue served many people in church and lifted those around her with her hope and kindness. Sue wrote countless notes and cards with kind and encouraging words to her family and friends. Sue was a glue that held people together. Sue was an amazing friend, the best Mom and Grandmom, a great spouse, and a wonderful daughter. We will miss her every day. Sue leaves behind her daughter Johelen (Michael L Biven), son James (Robyn), two granddaughters Kayleigh Olander (Steven) and Kaitlyn Bills (Tyler), four grandsons James Michael (Megan), John (Kelby), Taylor (Dallon), Parker (Sydney), and four beautiful great grandchildren Arthur, Annabel, Ada, and Dale.
