Delight

Emblem

Winston Glen Humphry was born on November 26, 1940, in Stelltown, AR to Ertice Cecil and Bertha Marie Bell Humphry. He left this life and entered into the presence of the Lord on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the age of 84 years, 5 months, and 7 days.

His cherished family includes his wife of 56 years, Kattie Ellen Stark Humphry; his children Dawn Humphry (Thom Copeland) of Nashville, AR; Chandra Kirkham (Jim) of Delight, AR; Henry Humphry (deceased); Heather Cox (Jay) of Hot Springs, AR; and Silas Humphry, of Delight, AR; 14 grandchildren, Alexa and Edie Copeland, Katelyn Kirkham Gentry (Marquis), River, Seth Henry, Zane, and Judah Humphry Kirkham, and Camri Lane (Cameron); Laila, Zayde, and Colt Winston Cox; Ava and Adley Humphry and Gabriel Humphry (deceased); 3 great-grandchildren, Donovan and Estrella Kirkham and baby Cullen Lane (in utero); 7 siblings, Sarah Barrett (Dale), both deceased; Wayne Humphry (Joann), both deceased; Jimmy Humphry (Dale); Mike Humphry (Becky); Steve Humphry; Emma Lee (J.J., deceased), and Ricky Humphry (Theresa, deceased); and 25 nieces and nephews. His Great Dane, Bogart Humphry, and Kattie’s cat, Cattie (whom he petted secretly but pretended to hate), will also miss him greatly.

He was known as “Red” by many community members and was affectionately called “Cullen,” a childhood nickname, by his beloved wife.

He was a retired poultry and cattle farmer. Prior to beginning his farming venture in 1972, he worked as a pulpwood logger and worked intermittently as an electrician for Brown & Root over the years. He was a hard worker and good provider for his family.

He attended high school in Corvallis, Oregon and entered the U.S. Navy in 1958 at the age of 17 as a Kiddie Cruiser and served until 1961. He enjoyed his experiences and travels in the Navy and made many friends there. He served on board the USS Staten Island, an icebreaker, and the USS Hector, a repair ship, where he worked as a mechanic. This experience proved valuable in his daily life, as he could fix almost anything.

He was a witty man, making jokes and laughing with friends and new acquaintances alike. He loved to read Louis L’Amour books and watch old Western movies. He started every morning with a cup of coffee and refilled his cup throughout the day. He adapted quickly to new technology and enjoyed playing games and watching funny videos on his phone. His wife wonders what he’ll do in heaven without it. One of his greatest joys in life were his grandchildren. He enjoyed attending their ballgames and special events and was faithful to do so.

A service will be held to honor his life on Wednesday, May 7 at 2:00 at the Latimer Chapel at 1211 Anthony Street in Murfreesboro, AR. The family will receive friends from 6:00 till 8:00 on Tuesday evening at the same location.
