Winona had one sister, Dian Tucker Evans, with whom she remained extremely close throughout her life.

The two married shortly after Winona graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1958. Winona and Billy Joe went on to have two children, Mark Alan Glaze and Andrea Glaze Land, and later became the best “Ganny” to one granddaughter, Cara Tomlinson Butler.

Throughout her life, Winona had a heart for animals, rescuing numerous strays. She leaves behind her “wild child” Puddy Tat the cat.
