                        HON. H. MORGAN GRIFFITH

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 21, 2022

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Diane Garner 
Winston of Wytheville, who passed away on July 7, 2022.
  Mrs. Winston was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on December 31, 1928, to 
George Hayden Garner and Vera Duke Garner. She earned a bachelor's 
degree in medical technology from the Medical College of Virginia, now 
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. She married 
William Overton Winston and they raised four children.
  God and country were foundational in Mrs. Winston's life. She was an 
active member of Draper's Valley Presbyterian Church. During World War 
II, she volunteered in Norfolk as an airplane spotter and nurse's aide. 
The faith and patriotism of individuals such as Mrs. Winston have often 
been the stable and steady pillars holding up families and communities 
across our land.
  Mrs. Winston was preceded in death by her husband and a son, David C. 
Winston. Survivors include son Stephen Winston (Sandi); daughters Mary 
Blount (Tyler) and Rebecca Brewbaker (Bill); twelve grandchildren; and 
sixteen great-grandchildren. I offer them my condolences on their loss.
