Betty Lea (Stroud) Winn, 96, of LeRoy, Kansas, was called to her eternal home on April 23, 2024. Betty was born on October 24, 1927, to Lee Earl and Katherine Elizabeth (Schwindt) Stroud in Viva, Coffey County, KS. After Betty graduated from high school in 1943, she attended Clark's Business School and worked at her parents' photography studio, painting black and white portraits.

While working together on the farm, Betty enjoyed making crafts and taking a break to play cards whenever anyone wanted.
