At their February meeting, the Winn Retired Teachers Association honored in a candlelight service four members lost in 2019-2020: Ethel Lea Peters, Melba Bradford Little, Mary Kirkendall, and Anne Duke.
Dr. Durwood Duke spoke of Ethel Lea Peters and her life which include 40 years of service in the educational field. He spoke of her dedication, loyalty, and friendship during her years in our school system.
Sheila Causey then memorialized Melba Bradford Little. Mrs. Little taught high school English for 30 years. Her standard of excellence, love of students, and dedication to her work and coworkers made her the “consummate professional of her time.”
To honor Mary Lee Kirkendall, Ethel Howell reminded us of Mary’s talents and commitment to the Lord, her education and her 30-year career in teaching. Mary was a sister and a friend to Ethel and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
