EARL C. WINFREY, of 
Grays, Ark., died March 
7, 2019. 
He was born to Alex 
and Lily Grant Winfrey 
on Dec. 11, 1927. Earl 
C. had three sisters and 
three brothers. 
While in Arkansas, he met the 
love of his life, Doris Evelyn Branch. 
They married in 1953 and started 
a life together, establishing roots in 
Southwest Detroit before purchas-
ing a home on the city’
s Northwest 
side, where they lived for more than 
40 years. Together, Earl and Doris 
traveled extensively, visiting family 
in Chicago, Arkansas, Nevada, Texas 
and California. Prior to Doris’
 pass-

ing in 2016, they had been married 
for 63 wonderful years.
Earl was a strong, hardwork-
ing family man, who insisted on 
nothing but the best for his family. 
Affectionately known by his grand-
children as “Big Pops,” he loved 
baking Christmas cookies with his 
grandkids and their friends, hosting 
Easter egg hunts, Super Bowl par-
ties and helping orchestrate family 
reunions. And yes, “Big Pops” loved 
his money.
Although strong willed, Earl had 
a kind spirit and was committed to 
serving. Professionally, he worked 
more than 44 years as head custodian 
at Adat Shalom Synagogue. 
Mr. Winfrey is survived by his 
devoted son, Tyrone (Janice); four 
grandchildren: Yashica, Tyrone Jr.

ters-in-law, Marjorie (Joe), Lovie
