Sara “Toosie” Myers Winokur
WINOKUR: Sara “Toosie” Myers Winokur. Sara Myers Winokur, better known her entire life as Toosie, was born in Pittsburgh on July 29, 1926, to the late Simon Myers and Ethel Wasbutsky, and died on Nov. 27 in Sarasota, Florida. She was predeceased by her brother Louis Myers. She is survived by the loves of her life: her sons Jeff (Martha) and Greg (Amy); her four grandchildren, Emily, Daniel, Zack and Katie; and four great-grandchildren. Toosie was beloved by all who knew her. People had fun wherever she went. She was known for her warmth as well as her ready laugh. She grew up and raised a family in Squirrel Hill. She later moved to Shadyside, where she lived for the next 20-plus years. In the mid-1970s she began to spend several months each year on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, where she eventually moved permanently. Toosie made many devoted friends in both Pittsburgh and Sarasota over her long life. Although most if not all of her contemporaries are gone, she also made friends with her friends’ children who usually referred to her as their “Aunt Toose.” Her family would like to thank all staff members of the Memory Care Unit at Plymouth Harbour in Sarasota. A very special debt of gratitude is extended to Ingrid Fahrenheim who cared for Toosie for the final four or so years of her life. Toosie loved Ingrid and so do we! Services private. In lieu of flowers the family encourages contributions to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank or a charity of your choice. PJC
