Winifred H. McGinty Obituary (1928 - 2021)

Winifred Hull McGinty, our beautiful, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully at home on July 6, 2021. She was born to William Roy and Frances Leggett Hull in Brigham City, Utah. Winnie graduated from Granite High School, where she was a drum majorette, and attended LDS Business College. She was a member of the LDS Church. As a young woman, a favorite pastime of Winnie’s was riding her horse ‘Sugar’ through the countryside surrounding her home. Winnie married the love of her life, Earl D. McGinty, in 1950 while he was serving in the military during the Korean Conflict. Together they raised four children: Michelle (Randy) Briggs, Susan Boel, Steven (Jenny), and Kelly Tafoya. She was preceded in death by her husband, daughter Kelly, son-in-law Bill Boel, parents, brother Bill, and sisters Ruth Olsen, Janis Degen, and Joyce Rimmington. Winnie’s love for and devotion to her children, her 8 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren was unparalleled. Upon any visit to Grandma Winnie’s house, the kids knew she would greet them each with their favorite food and treats. She was a gracious and glamorous lady to all who knew her.
