Jimmy Kyle Winstead

Jimmy Winstead of LaFollette, Tennessee passed away on July 10th 2012. He was born in Bulls Gap, Tennessee on May 17th, 1930 to Hugh and Ina Winstead. His early years were spent in Knoxville, Tennessee. He met Jewell Winstead of LaFollette, Tennessee and they married in 1949. Their marriage lasted 63 years until his death. Their union produced three sons, Larry Steven, Mark Allen and Hugh Michael. Jimmy lost his youngest son, Michael in a tragic accident in 1978. Jimmy worked on the railroad his entire adult life serving in varied positions such as master mechanic and operations supervisor until his retirement in 1986. His retirement years have been happily spent back in Jewell's home town of LaFollette where both enjoyed quiet country life with the joyous company of the majority of her family still living in LaFollette. Jimmy is survived by Jewell (currently residing in Birmingham), his sons, Steve (Margaret) and Mark (Vicki), his six grandchildren, Michael (Rachel), Matthew, Sarah Jane (Josh), John Mark, Anna, and Timothy, and his great grandson, Mark.
