Nettie Ruth Harbour Winfield, age 81 of Stuart, passed away Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was born in Floyd County on September 7, 1942, to the late Parker Davis Quesenberry and Mary Ellen DeHart Quesenberry. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Winfield was preceded in death by her first husband, J.C. Harley Harbour; her second husband, Bill Winfield; a daughter, Vicky Harbour Purdy; three brothers, Odell, Elmer and Ronnie Quesenberry; and special friend, Kathleen Layman. Mrs. Winfield, who was of the Baptist faith, read her Bible daily and was a prayer warrior who never gave up on her faith. She was a loving Mom and “Granny Harbour” who was tough as nails and was the strongest lady her family had ever known. She loved her children unconditionally and her great-grandchildren were the apple of her eye. She called them her “Little Angels”. She loved family functions and going out to eat, especially for tacos or a Big Mac. She was thankful for every day God gave her.
Mrs. Winfield is survived by her children, Teresa Lancaster of Stuart, Lesia Cockram (Don) of Claudville, James Harbour of Wilsonville, Alabama and Jeffrey Harbour (Rebecca) of Stuart; a special step-daughter, Robin Bryant (Joe) of Martinsville; ten grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; two brothers, J.G.
