Winona May Britt, 82, of Gainesville, MO passed away May 20, 2024 at the Hospice of the Ozarks Hospice House in Mtn Home, AR. She was born January 2, 1942 in Lakeview, AR to Floyd Allen and Lona Rachel (Hopper) Walton.
Winona was a 1960 graduate of Mountain Home High School. On March 1, 1969 she was united in marriage to Norman Britt. In 1975 the couple moved from Mtn Home to Gainesville, MO with their three young children Shawn, Jim and Gene. Winona worked for many years at Baxter Lab in Mtn Home where she made many life-long friends and acquaintances. She took great pride in her family and loved to talk and brag about them to anyone who would listen. Later in life, Winona took on the beloved title of Grandma Wynn, a role she filled whole-heartedly. Grandma Wynn’s house was always a safe haven for her grandchildren and their friends. She was always ready to make their favorite dish, give them a snack, let them relax and just be kids. She loved having her little house occupied with her grandchildren and made it her life’s mission for no one to ever be hungry!
She was loved and adored by her family and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her three children Shawn Britt Nollen and husband Mike of Berryville, AR; Jim Britt and wife Tina of Gainesville, MO; Gene Britt and wife Penny of Gainesville, MO; ten grandchildren; six great grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends.
