Winnie Rasor

 

She was born May 20, 1917, on a farm in Allen, Texas, the daughter of Joseph Perry and Lura Pearl (McKinney) Watson. The family moved to McKinney when she was two years old. She graduated from Boyd High School and North Texas State University. On January 3, 1943, she married William Henry (Buzz) Rasor in McKinney.

Although Winnie's main career was that of a wife and mother, she taught school at Chambersville, Farmersville and Little Elm.

She was an active member of the First Christian Church of McKinney for 77 years, where she served as a Deaconess, a member of CWF, Sunday School teacher, and former board member.

She had been a member of the Frisco United Fund, Frisco Garden Club, Community Center Board, a PTA life member, the Edelweiss Club, Tyrolese Club, Retired Teachers Association of Collin County, Book Review, and 42/84 groups.

Winnie was an inspiration to her family and many friends who will miss her dearly.

Preceding her in death were her husband William H. (Buzz) Rasor in 1976; her parents; her sister, Elizabeth Watson; and her brother, Jack Watson.
