Judy Winkel’s Legacy of Love and Resilience

An 84-year-old Santa Barbara matriarch, Judy Winkel, passed away peacefully at home after a 12-year battle with mesothelioma, leaving behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and quiet resilience. Born in England in 1942, she built a life centered on family — her husband John, daughters Liz and Jannele, and four grandchildren — and was known for her hands-on care, knitting, sewing, travel, and passion for rescuing Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. With wit and grace, she faced every challenge, driven by her love for those she cherished. In lieu of flowers, her family asks for donations to Cavalier Rescue USA — a fitting tribute to a woman whose heart was always in action.
