Obituary of Curt L. Wingerter

Curt L. Wingerter

On Sunday, March 31, 2019, Curt had not been feeling well, with cold like symptoms.  He went to a quick care clinic for an evaluation and was treated for an upper respiratory infection.  He returned home and passed away unexpectedly from an apparent heart attack.  Curt was born in Kankakee and was a Channahon resident for the past 16 years.  He was a graduate of Hersher High School, Class of 1981 and a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps.  Employed at Edward Hospital as a painter for the past four years, Curt was a member of the Painters Union Local 33 for many years.  He was a huge Minooka High School and college football fan.  His greatest love was his family and friends, but he absolutely loved a good workout at Peak Fitness.         

He was preceded in death by his mother, Naomi (nee Jackson) Wingerter.

Curt is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, Lynda S. (nee Larkin) Wingerter; one daughter, Grace Wingerter; one son, Zach Wingerter all of Channahon; his father, Billy Wingerter of Braidwood; three brothers, Rick (Pat) Wingerter of Channahon, Michael (Trish) Wingerter of Pennsylvania and Cory (Devin) Wingerter of Joliet; two sisters, Neva (David) Weedon of Chebanse and Tammy (Scott) Sandefur of Braidwood; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins including his godson (nephew), Nicholas; mother-in-law, Sue (the late Ed) Levandowski of Shorewood; and brother-in-law, Scott (Amy) Larkin of Crest Hill.
