Mrs. Joyce Ferguson Wininger

On November 4, 2022 Joyce Ann Ferguson Wininger of Scottsboro, AL waved her last goodbye to her loving family. Joyce was a lifetime member of Hollands Chapel United Methodist Church. God made the mold when Joyce was born to her parents McKinley and Clara Ferguson. God made her mold a patient, kind, and loving woman. She rejoiced in the Lord, all things, and all people. She loved her life and her people with a fierce passion that left an imprint on those who came into her life. Joyce fulfilled her dream of being a nurse while volunteering as an ambassador for Highlands Medical Center. While there she found her calling in counseling those battling with addiction. Her smile was infectious and could sew a thread on your heart as tight as the clothing she sewed for the people she loved. Her greatest blessings in life came from making other people happy. If you ever had the opportunity of visiting her in her home, she would see to it that your heart was as full as your stomach when you left. She tailored the meals to the liking of those seated at her table, even if that meant making five different dishes. Her chicken and dumplings were her version of a warm hug. Joyce could often be found sitting at her table working Sudoku puzzles and watching sports, especially her beloved Atlanta Braves and Auburn Tigers.
