WALTERS MARGARET JEAN WALTERS MARGARET WALTERS of Columbia, South Carolina passed away on April 14, 2009. Margie had moved to South Carolina in 2005 after dividing her busy life between Naples, Florida and Orchard Lake, Michigan. Cherished daughter of Stuart and Florence Cogsdill, Margie was born on July 20, 1920 at Keifer Hospital in Detroit. After attending Jefferson Jr. High and Miss Newman's School in Detroit during the heart of the Great Depression, Margie attended Mt. Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA, receiving a B.A. in Economics & Sociology in 1942. The fact that Margie did not see since birth was never a factor in the high expectations that her parents placed before her. A handicap was not allowed as an excuse. Their demands of excellence became her personal standards in business, marriage, family-life, volunteerism and friendship. Margie was married to Gene Alexander White of Grosse Pointe in the summer of 1942. Gene pre-deceased her in 1973. After WWII, the couple lived on Meyers Road in Detroit and Pine Lake in Oakland County eventually settling on Glenhurst Road in Birmingham. Between 1947 and 1960, four children were adopted; Stuart White (Suzanne) of Ann Arbor, Cynthia Perthou (Peter) of Blythewood, SC, Gordon White (Sonya) of Blythewood, SC and Marilyn Gaither (Todd) of Elgin, SC. Additionally, Margie is survived by her sister, Kathryn Fife (Robert) of Chapel Hill, NC three nieces, Pam Bird (David) of West Bloomfield, MI, Katie Edelstein (David) of Bellingham, WA and Mariann Knapp (Randy) of Lyndon, WA along with one nephew, Robert S. Fife (Mimi) of Madison, CT. Margie has five grandchildren; Megan Roether (Brian) of Plymouth, MI, Caleb B. White of Hilton Head Island, SC, Stuart Neil White of Blythewood, SC, Margaret Ann Gaither of Elgin, SC and Alex Gaither of Elgin, SC. She has one great grandchild, Josephine Margaret Roether of Plymouth, MI. Margie was the President of The Junior League in Birmingham from 1956-58. She was a Board member of the Oakland County Child Guidance Clinic from 1955-60 and a Board member at Brookside School from 1959-62. The Detroit Rotary Club awarded her their "Exceptional Woman of the Year" award in 1962. From 1965-67, Margie was a Founder and Board member of the Birmingham-Bloomfield Teen Center. She served on the Cranbrook School New Horizon Board from 1974-76 and was Small Business Chair of the Detroit Symphony Fund Drive from 1971-74. Additionally, she was a Board member of The Boys Clubs of Detroit from 1974-76 and a member of The Vestry at Christ Church Cranbrook. Margie became the Chairperson of the family company, Cogsdill Tool Products in 1974, serving in that capacity until 1992. The tool company was moved from Detroit to Farmington Hills and finally to Camden, SC in 1977. Her chairpersonship was marked with acute attention to business detail and a phrase she loved to use with regard to management, "Hold their feet to the fire!" In 1978, Margie married William Walters, the next president of the family company. Their love for each other and their business leadership was a terrific combination that endured until his death in 1992. Margie left her Orchard Lake home in 2003, moving to Bloomfield Hills and eventually to Naples, FL when retirement beckoned. As her world became smaller, she moved closer to three of her children in Columbia, SC. Burial at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit has already taken place. Margie's family invites all who wish to remember her life to attend a Memorial Service at 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 7 at Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills. Donations in her memory can be made to The Oakland County Library For The Visually & Physically Impaired at 1200 N. Telegraph, Bldg. 14E, Pontiac, MI, 48341. Checks should be made out to the "Oakland County Library Foundation", in the memory of Margaret J. Walters. A.J.

WININGER RONALD LARRY WININGER SR RONALD WININGER SR, 75, of Wales, died Sunday, April 12, 2009 at Port Huron Hospital. What unimaginable joy he must have felt upon awakening Easter morning to see the face of his Savior and hear the words, "Welcome home, Son !" Ronald was born November 14, 1933 in Hartford, Arkansas, the son of Mary (Lewis) and the late Vernon Wininger. Although he grew up during the Depression, he often spoke of how wonderful his home life was during that time and the closeness of his extended family. He loved to reminisce about the delicious meals that Granny and Mother would make and the evenings spent playing games and talking. He graduated from Detroit's Eastern High School in 1951. Ronald served in the Air Force from 1951 to 1959 and was stationed in Korea for a time. On March 21, 1959, Ronald married Patricia Dupuy. Patricia was literally the girl next door! The couple just recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. From 1963 to 2007, Ronald owned R.L. Wininger & Co., which eventually became the largest private detective agency in Michigan. In his later years, Ronald became an avid golfer. He loved the game and would often play 36 holes a day. But Ronald's greatest joy was his family. Nothing gave him more pleasure than having everyone gathered together at his home. He took special pride in being Poppa to his two grandsons, Alexander and Jacob, who were an endless source of enjoyment and amusement. Ronald is survived by his wife, Patricia; daughter, Rebecca (Ronald) Bommarito; son, Ronald, Jr. (Donna); mother, Mary Dodge; brother, Thomas (Karen) Wininger; sister, Linda (Thomas) Pool; grandsons, Alexander and Jacob Bommarito; grandchildren, Hollie (Kurtis) Blake, Paul Bommarito, Collin and McKenna Cichocki; and beloved friend, Jodi (Daniel) Dunsmore, and their children, Zachary, Garrett and Hannah. A private interment service will be held at a later date. Cremation arrangements by Jowett Funeral Home, 1634 Lapeer Ave. at 17th Street, Port Huron. www.jowettfuneraldirectors.com
