Mary Winter "Sissy" Ermis, CRNA was born April 18, 1940, in Fulton, Kentucky and peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 18, 2023, in Huntsville, Texas.  She is now in her heavenly home alongside her beloved husband, Denson Ermis, her parents Mary Meek Winter and George Winter, and her brother Butch Winter.

Mary lived a life of service to others and was a faithful follower of Christ.  Growing up, she was a hard-working daughter and a loyal and compassionate sister after the sudden loss of their mother.  Mary was also a devoted wife, and loving mother to her three children. She was always an integral part of the communities that she lived and where she worked as a nurse. Even while living in her retirement center (Carriage Inn - Huntsville, Tx), she offered help to other residents that were in distress. Mary was also an active member of her 42 group, exercise class, any special event/excursion she could sign-up for. Mary never met a stranger and was loved by all that knew her.

Mary started her career in nursing and went on to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.  She loved her job and the opportunities to travel that came with it.  Working in assignments ranging from all over Northeast Texas, New Mexico, Michigan, North Carolina, and Tennessee; she ended her career working in Louisville, Kentucky. She served others as a nurse for over 56 years which gave her so many interesting stories to tell!  Mary also loved shopping and fine dining experiences which continued throughout her life!

Mary is survived by her son, Link and his wife Amanda H. Ermis, her daughter Amanda B. Ermis, her son Cord Ermis and life-partner Michelle Hinojosa, her sister Lucy and her husband Dennis Johnston, her brother Dick and his wife Laura Winter, along with many cousins, nieces and nephews.  Mary was the proud grandmother of 6 and great-grandmother of 12….and counting! She had also made many sweet new friends at Carriage Inn, Huntsville, TX where she has resided for the past year.
