Mildred M.

Winters

Mildred M. (Markoff) Winters, 95, of Dryden, NY, passed away on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Cortland Regional Medical Center Nursing Facility, Cortland, NY.

Born in Windsor, NY on May 25, 1931, Millie was the daughter of the late Peter and Ruth Keihl Markoff. She lived a long life marked by devotion to her family, steady work, and simple joys shared with others.

Millie retired from C.H. Thompson in Binghamton, NY, in 2015 after several years of dedicated service. Before that, she worked for Security Mutual in Binghamton. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and as someone who found happiness in time spent with family and friends. She enjoyed bowling and playing cards at the Willet/Cincinnatus Senior Center, pastimes that reflected her warm spirit and enjoyment of companionship.

She is survived by her son Steven Winters and his wife, Amy, of McGraw, her daughter, Jody Creeden of Dryden; and her son Charles Winters and his wife, Barbara. Her family was at the heart of her life, and her love for them will remain a lasting part of her memory.

In addition to her parents, Millie was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Winters in 1979, six siblings, and by her son-in-law, Ernest Creeden.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 16, 2027, at 11:00 a.m. at the United Methodist Church of McGraw, with Pastor Julie Ryan officiating. There will be no prior calling hours. Burial will be in Pitcher Cemetery at the convenience of the family. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Mildred may be made to a local VFW post.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of Misty Glen at the Cortland Regional Medical Center Nursing Facility for the outstanding care Mildred received. They would also like to acknowledge Beatrice Thomas, Lori Mowry and Joanne Fox for their continued visits, love and support. Millie will be remembered with love and gratitude by those who knew her and by the family she cherished so deeply.
