STROUBE, WINKIE PIERCE.
A Memorial Service for Winkie Pierce Stroube will be held at Northaven United Methodist Church on Saturday, September 6, at 3 PM. She died August 31 after a lengthy illness.
She was born on November 7, 1920, to Festus and Alnela Pierce in Corsicana, Texas, where she met and later married her kindergarten sweetheart, Jack A. Stroube, in 1941. After graduating from Corsicana High School, she attended and graduated from Ward-Belmont College in Nashville, Tennessee. Already an accomplished pianist, she went on to study at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and was the first female student to attend the Yale University School of Music. She later received a degree in music from Southern Methodist University. She spent much of her life as a performer and accompanist for community, church, and other civic activities.
When her husband returned from World War II, he joined the family oil business in Corsicana, where they eventually had three children. In 1954, at the expansion of the oil business in West Texas, the family moved to Abilene where they lived for almost eleven years before moving to Dallas. In all three towns, she was an active Bible Study teacher. In Abilene, she became the first inter-denominational Bible teacher at The Abilene Woman's Club and taught hundreds of women for years. She was a frequent speaker at numerous retreats both for the Methodist Church and interdenominational groups. In Corsicana, she taught Sunday School in the Youth Department at First United Methodist Church; in Abilene, she taught the Young Adult Galilean Class and then the High School Class at St. Paul United Methodist Church; in Dallas she taught the Adult Bible Study Class at Northaven United Methodist Church. At Northhaven, while serving on the Organ Committee in the early 1970's, she conceptualized the possibility of providing the church the finest church organ available. Her fund raising efforts resulted in the installation of a Redman Tracker Pipe Organ, the first one of its kind in a Dallas church. She served on many boards and committees at all three churches, and at Northaven she was Chairperson of the Board. In addition to her family, her great passions were Northaven United Methodist Church and The Dallas Symphony.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack A. Stroube, and her sisters Anna Mary Atchley of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Bette Pierce Wells, of Dallas.
She is survived by her three children and her eight grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites those wishing to make a memorial donation to send their contributions to Northaven United Methodist Church at 11211 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 76230, or to the charity of their choice.
