Winston, 77, was born in Cordele to the late Ottis Lawson and Zula Akridge Mixon.

Always the teacher, he taught Sunday School and served for many years as a deacon. One of his favorite things was riding the roads at the Outback (his farm) and just enjoying nature, the outdoors, and woodworking, but closest to his heart was his family.

In addition to his parents he was also preceded in death by siblings, James Harvey Mixon and Lottie Mae Sutton.  Memorials to the Georgia Sheriff’s Youth Home or to your charity of choice would be appreciated by the family.
