Winston Bursey

Obituary

It is with profound sadness, that we announce the passing of Winston Raymond Leo Bursey on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the age of 75 at the Southampton Care Centre, Southampton Ontario
Winston moved from Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland in 1974 to work in Toronto. Then moved to Port Elgin where he worked at Bruce Power for over 30 years. He was a man who forever loved making memories with his family and spending time with the fur babies. He was one of the kindest humans you would ever meet.
Winston worked as a millwright who loved working with his hands and was also passionate about woodworking. During summers, the family would take drives back home to Newfoundland to spend time with family and friends. Some of his favorite hobbies included fishing, playing card games, and camping with smores, whether it be in Florida or Durham.
Survived by his loving wife Edith (nee Saunders) of 53 years, daughter Jennifer (Randy) and son Steve (Karen). Brother Eric (Shirley), sister Mabel, sister in-law Marie (John), sister in-law Betty (Boyd), brother in-law Calvin (Ellen), sister in-law Olga (Larry), brother in-law Paul (Sharon) and Michelle (Dan).
Winston will be sadly missed by the urchins (grandchildren) Ryan, Logan, and Brennyn along with his numerous nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by his parents, William and Bessie Bursey
Winston lived with Parkinson’s Disease for over 30 years.
The family would like to thank the staff at Southampton Care Center.
