Obituary for Frederick Terry Winters
Age 77, of New Brighton, MN, passed away at home on February 17, 2021.
Freddie became a firefighter and, even after sustaining life-threatening injuries during the strike of Aurora Local 99 (October 1979) he labored for a full 25 years, retiring a decorated and highly respected firefighter. His passion for reading and learning about history, cultures, historical figures, and gardening spoke to his eternally curious and open mind. He was a lifelong Cubs fan and finally got to see them break the curse in 2016. He lived a full and interesting life characterized by putting his family first and the belief that his children and those who came after him would surpass him in knowledge and deed and therefore make the world a little bit better.
Frederick was preceded in death by his sister, Christie.
He is survived by beloved wife of almost 50 years, Carole Ann Winters; children, Heather (Ben) Carroll, and Joseph (Paul) Winters; four grandchildren, Rebecca (Ed) Wendt, Emily Carroll, Meriam Carroll, and Benny Carroll; and one great-grandchild, Edward Dean Wendt III.
A memorial service was held on Saturday, February 20th at Evans-Nordby Funeral Home in Brooklyn Center from 2:00-5:00 pm.

Our son recently passed away and of course you never expect to have to deal with this for your children so my wife and I were not only devastated but didn’t know what to do or where to turn next. Evans-Nordby was recommended to us by our Priest and I’m so glad he did. From the moment I talked to Tina on the phone I could tell we were in good hands as she took care of every detail. We met with her the next day and she went through all the aspects of what we were to expect in the coming days, weeks, then months ahead. Every employee we had contact with at Evans-Nordby was kind, compassionate and extremely professional. Thanks Tina and to all at Evans-Nordby for making an unbearable experience at least tolerable.
