MRS. JESSIE B. WINGFIELD, age 90, passed away on November

 11, 2014, at the local nursing home in Summerville, Georgia. 

She was born on August 22, 1924 in Mt. Juliet, Wilson County,

 Tennessee to Leonidus “Lee” Burton and Julie Lillie Prowell Burton.
Even though she grew up on a farm in rural Tennessee, her parents 

instilled the value of education in her and her siblings. She attended 

and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University, as it is known 

now, during the years of World War II. After the war, she was offered 

a job as a teacher with Trion High School. She later met her future

 husband, Marion M. Wingfield, Jr., and they married on June 18, 1949. 

Marion died in 1990 two weeks before their 41st anniversary.
Her teaching career at Trion High School began in 1946 and continued 

until she retired in 1986. She taught mainly English and journalism, but had

 also taught art and music some years. She was most proud of teaching at 

least two generations of many of Trion’s students. While in college she was 

included in the 1945-1946 “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities

 and Colleges”. In 1976 as a teacher, she was included in the book, “Outstanding 

Leaders in Elementary and Secondary Education”. She and Marion and their children

 were members of the Trion Presbyterian Church during their time in Trion. She also 

enjoyed attending services at the Methodist Church in her later years.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Marion M. Wingfield, Jr., 

in 1990 and her four siblings and their spouses, Willie B. (Eleanor) Burton, Lillian

 (John) Turner, Rilla (Chuck) Reeves and Hewlette (Robert) Moseley. Also preceding

 her in death were her brothers-in-law/sisters-in-law and their spouses, Jimmy (Norma)

 Wingfield, and Vula (Harlen) Dewey and Tom Wingfield.

 Wingfield as well as by five grandchildren, Kyle (Emily) Wingfield, Brent (Lydia)
