Carol Winterberg

Carol (McKay) Winterberg was born July 16, 1943 in Galesburg, Illinois to Rev. Adrian L. and Carolyn Lucille McKay. She married Gary Winterberg on June 6, 1970. Carol touched many lives throughout her 37 year teaching career with Des Moines Public Schools. She was a proud recipient of the Golden Apple Award and would have given the shirt off her back for her students. In fact, many times she used her own money to buy her students coats. Carol retired from teaching in 2001. She was a member of Alpha Delta Kappa teachers sorority and Highland Park Christian Church.

Carol passed away Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at the age of 70. She is survived by her husband, Gary; sons, Garett and Nicholas; grandchildren, Colson and Zionah; many nephews and nieces; and her beloved dogs, Kayte and Missy. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Jerry McKay; sisters, Marilyn Crispin and Marion (Mern) Kraemer; and her nephew, Jeff McKay.

According to Carol’s wishes, there will be no services held at this time. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Highland Park Christian Church Building Fund.
