An amazing wife, mother, ""Mutter"", aunt, and friend. We will always remember her for the many recipes- spaghetti, chili, vegetable soup, etc. Her strong faith in the Lord, singing in the choir, and teaching preschool age Sunday school class with Beth Powell. Her and her husband, Hubert Winston, never missed a function for their grandchildren. Everyone knew how proud she was of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. You could always find her in her recliner watching her "stories" and the Hallmark channel.
Pallbearers will be Clay Gates, Jarrett Winston, Riley Winston, Tyler Sims, Nick Shelton, Colby Lyons, Luke Manning, Travis Noland, and John Michael Smith.
Honorary Pallbearers are Sonny Noland, Patsy Hogue, Patricia Hall, Annie Gibson, Kiwanna "Kiwi" Hilson, Covenant Care Center for Hospice Care at West Florida Hospital- Mendi, Caleb, Denise, Nick, Kay, Brittney; Gentiva Hospice- Missy & Kathy; Emerald Coast Hospice- Hope & Lexi; AFBC Family & Choir, and Martha's Ministry.
