Winola Donnis (Pippins)-Flandermyer-Krammer

Winola Donnis (Pippins)-Flandermyer-Krammer, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on September 2, 2026, in the company of her loving family. Born on October 17, 1939, in Lamesa, Texas, Winola was the cherished daughter of Wilburn and Winifred Pippins. Her life was a testament to love, dedication, and the profound impact of nurturing care. Winola was a proud graduate of Whitecloud Public School and went on to fulfill her calling by attending the St. John School of Nursing in Springfield, Missouri, where she became a registered nurse. Her career spanned over four decades, during which she provided compassionate care and comfort to countless individuals. Her commitment to nursing was not just a profession but a vocation through which she touched many lives. In 1963, Winola married Bud Flandermyer, with whom she had two children, Clint and Carla. Her journey with Bud was one filled with love and adventure, until his passing. She later found love again and married Steve Krammer, sharing more precious years together. Her daughter Carla, along with her first husband Bud and second husband Steve, predeceased her, leaving behind cherished memories. Winola's faith was the cornerstone of her life. Her devotion to studying God's word was evident in her daily life and interactions with others. She was a beacon of love and kindness, living her faith with unwavering conviction. Her greatest joy, however, was her family, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She was a devoted mother to her surviving sons, Clint and his wife Terri of Lamesa, Texas, and Craig of Randle, Washington. Her legacy continues through her six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy and pride to her life. Beyond her family and faith, Winola had a passion for antiquing, often spending her days searching for hidden treasures. This hobby reflected her appreciation for history and beauty, much like the life she led — filled with treasured moments and deep connections. Winola is also survived by her sister Wilma George of Springfield, Missouri, and her brother Mike Breshears. She was predeceased by her parents and her sister Gail Breshears, who she held dear in her heart. A service to honor Winola's remarkable life will be held on October 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, located at 20079 County Road 108, Wheatland, Missouri, 65779. Friends and family are invited to gather and celebrate the life of a woman who gave so much of herself to others. In remembrance of Winola, the family kindly suggests donations be made to a charity or organization of your choice that embodies her spirit of care and compassion. As we say farewell to Winola Donnis (Pippins)-Flandermyer-Krammer, we hold her memory close, inspired by her legacy of love, faith, and service. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
