Rev. Winston McClurg, age 88, of Morehead, Kentucky, gained his heavenly wings on Sunday, March 21, 2021, following a decline in health at the U.K. Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
He was born on July 29, 1932, in Morgan County, Kentucky, and was the first child of the late Emmitt and Cloie (Smedley) McClurg.
Winston proudly served our country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Shortly after his return, he married the love of his life, Jeri Blankenship. The two would go on to have three sons and a wonderful lifetime of memories.
While a pillar of the community, he also enjoyed his family immensely and made friendships that lasted throughout his lifetime – friends became family. His genuineness and nature of giving will forever be fondly remembered.
Winston is survived by Jeri, his loving and devoted wife of 66 years; sons, Murv (Lucia), Tim (Louise) and Tom (Alicia), all of Morehead; 7 grandchildren, Kevin McClurg of Portland, Oregon, Cyndi McClurg Manning, Matt McClurg, Jason McClurg, Jessica Howard, Rachel Craft and Jordan Craft, all of Morehead; and 6 great-grandchildren, Carter, Sophie, Mara, Melody, Brantley and Lucas.
Winston was preceded in death by his parents, Emmitt and Cloie McClurg; one sister, Lee Madill of Florida; and two brothers, Wilbur McClurg of Florida and Wendell McClurg of Morehead.
