Joseph "Joe" Robert Wingerson

Joseph "Joe" Robert Wingerson Jr., 82, of Vidor, Texas, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 31st, 2025, at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas in Beaumont. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joe made Vidor his longtime home, where he was a beloved member of Turning Point Church and a fixture in his community.

Joe proudly retired after more than 25 years as a salesman with Curtis 1000, where he was well-regarded for his dedication and work ethic. In his early years, he enjoyed spending time on the golf course and bowling lanes, embracing both the competitive spirit and friendships that came with the game. One of his greatest joys, however, was coaching his boys in Little League football and baseball, teaching them the values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

Above all, Joe cherished his family. He leaves behind his loving wife of 60 years, Patricia Wingerson of Vidor, TX; children Stephen Wingerson and wife Kim of Spring, TX; Michael Wingerson of Vidor, TX; and Jolie Johnson and husband Bryan of Orangefield, TX.

Joe is also survived by his brothers, Dan Wingerson of Royse City, TX, and Tom Wingerson of Highland Village, TX; and his sister Molindia Henson of Newton, TX. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Aaron Wingerson (fiancée Lauren Ledwik), Austin Wingerson (wife Mayra), Colton Johnson, and Brylie Johnson, along with two adopted grandchildren, Espyn Martin and Jordyn Burks.

Joe's memory will live on through the lives he touched with his warmth, faith, and dedication to his family. He will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered.
