She attended school in Meridian, Mississippi and married George Douglas Middleton on November 2, 1941.  They moved to Shreveport in 1962.  Winnie worked at Sears part-time and at home full time.  She and Doug were world travelers and travelled extensively.  Some of their favorite trips were to China and Australia.   You could count on Winnie wearing a sassy hat wherever she went.

She is survived by her daughter, Jann Middleton Connell, son-in-law, George Cummings, sister-in-law, Hazel Lang of Jackson, Mississippi. Her great joy in life- her Grandchildren- Greg Cummings (Sherry) of Houston, Tx , Shana Weissing of Richardson, Tx, Blake Cummings of McKinney,Tx, Rachel Ward (Joshua) of Shanghai, China and Rebekah Howe(Chris) of Bentonville, AR.  She delighted in the added joy of her great –grands ALL girls!  Krystal, Chynna, Carsyn, Jade, Sage, Jubilee, Madelyn, Clementine, and the newest angel Savannah.  Her greatest joy was to have all of the family together.
