Military Service Tribute, Honors, and Obituary:
Recognizing and Honoring a Fallen Hero, Who Served Within the Mississippi National Guard. “Fallen, Yet Not Forgotten”.
In recognition of our proud American tradition of honorable service which our military men and women have given to their country and our State, we honor a Fallen Hero. Our nation, our state, and the National Guard Association of MS (NGAMS) regard the memorializing of its retired military deceased as an honorable and sacred obligation.
Another great Soldier and Fallen Hero has been released from duty, passed from our ranks on June 26, 2025, and has moved on to his heavenly home. Retired Staff Sergeant James “Jamie” Claiborne Winters, age 78, who had served Company C, 223rd Engineer Battalion has departed and gone to a better place with our good Lord.
It takes a special person to serve within the military for their country, giving up their family time, comfort, and safety for their country, ultimately for all Americans to enjoy their freedoms, safety, and way of life. We now applaud you for your service to our country. A special message from General Douglas McArthur remains applicable today for our servicemen that have passed: “Old Soldiers never die; they just fade away”.
Rest in Peace Soldier. We applaud your patriotism, sacrifices, and brave efforts in serving our country and your family for their support of your service. We thank you for your service. Without your efforts and your families’ support, our country would not stand so boldly, shine so bright, and live so free.
You now have earned a rest, so go fly with the Angels, go rest high on that mountain; your work on earth is done. Go to heaven a-shoutin’ Love for the Father and the Son.
Another great Soldier has gone home, “Fallen, Yet Not Forgotten, Soldier for Life”.
Obituary, Visitation, and Service details:
James “Jamie” Claiborne Winters, age 78, of Charleston, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2025, at Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi.
Born on July 13, 1946, to James J Winters and Delorece Osbarn Winters.
Jamie lived a life full of deep love, generosity, and unwavering patriotism. He was a devoted family man who cherished time spent with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His love for his family was the heartbeat of his life, and he never hesitated to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
Jamie proudly served his country during Operation Iraqi Freedom, a reflection of his deep sense of duty and honor. His love for America was something he carried proudly every day of his life.
A gifted musician, Jamie brought joy to many with his guitar playing and singing. Whether gathered around with family and friends or sharing his talents in church, music was his way of connecting hearts and lifting spirits.
Known for his generosity and selflessness, Jamie was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. He lived by example—quietly and consistently doing good for others without asking for anything in return. He leaves behind a legacy of love, music, service, and kindness that will never be forgotten.
Jamie is survived by his wife of 58 years, Mary Yvonne Winters, daughter, Vicki Sherman (Chris) of Charleston, MS., and son, Stephen Winters (Lynn) of Scobey, MS., six grandchildren, Audrey Hill (Justin), Stephen L. Winters (Anna), James T. Winters (Brooklyn), Carolyn Winters, Sarah Winters, Phillip J. Sherman, and five great-grandchildren, Gracie Hill, Samuel Winters, Adeline Winters, Madison Hill, Hayden Hill.
He is preceded by his parents, James Jay Winters and Delorice Osbarn Winters, and two grandchildren, Angel Sherman and Marianna Sherman.
