Winnie Etta Tackitt was born to Maddison Haywood Tackitt (Pa) and Nona Lee Youngblood (Ma) in their home in the community of Fairview.
Winnie was always a fun loving person even in childhood. She was sent out to get the cows. She was told not to make the horse jump the gates, but being a free spirit, she made the horse jump the gates. On day when Pa and Ma went to town, Winnie, her sister Nona (Duck) and their brother Joe were playing outside. They were told not to play on the chicken house as they were known to do. They would slide down the metal roof holding on to a bed sheet and it would bellow out and give them a somewhat slower ride to the ground. Well as it went that day, Winnie caught her foot on a nail extending from the roof and could not get free. She was still up there when Pa and Ma returned home.
Winnie was a great helpmate for Walter and helped him grow crops, milk cows, bottle milk, garden, can vegetables and meats, keep the house clean and raise their three children.
The oldest child, Willis Walter Luttrell, Jr the middle child Doris Ann Luttrell Pundt and the youngest Richard were all a handfull for Walter and Winnie.
Winnie in later years worked in the school cafeterias in San Antonio, Texas and later in Pearsall, Texas. In Pearsall, since her grandchildren were calling her granny, she became "Granny" to many of the children she served in the cafeteria.
