Naomi Frances Knight Winters' Obituary
WINTERS, Naomi Frances Knight- Our mother, grandmother, and G-maw. Born in Lebanon, TN on June 5, 1924 to William Marcus and Ina Bailey Knight, Frances joined her older brother William to complete this family of four. Sadly the family would change in 1928 when Ina died. Frances and her brother were raised by their dad who passed away in 1969. She graduated from East Nashville High School in 1942 and from Draughons Business College the following year. In 1945 she met Bert Winters who was home on leave from the Army. They married on December 29, 1945 and were married until his death in 1982. In 1966 Frances went to work at Madison Steel and Iron Works and retired from there in March of 2004 at the age of 80. She was the center of our family and we were so very blessed to have her. Survived by daughter, Linda Winters Hutcherson (Joe); son, Charles Larry Winters (Peggy); grandchildren, Joe Hutcherson, Jr. (Paula), Richard Hutcherson (Sherrie), Leigh Anne Hutcherson, Kristi Hutcherson Alexander (David), (These grandchildren were a joy to her and Bert in their middle age) Logan Winters, and Laura Winters (the twins who brought so much joy to her in her later years); great grandchildren, Justin, Nicole, Morgan, Tyler, Christopher, Meagan, Monica, Wesley, and Jaden. Also survived by her foster granddaughter, Monica Presley (Jason) and their children, Chelsea, Anthony, Brooklynne, Britney, Jaylin, and Autumn. We love you, mother. Family will serve as pallbearers.
