Obituary For Mr. Winston Vernon Wellington

Mr. Winston Vernon Wellington “Papa” 75, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on July 1, 2020 in Greensboro, NC after a short stay at Moses Cone Hospital. He was born December 29, 1944 in Lucky Valley, St. Catherine Jamaica to the late Herman Wellington and Maudeline A. Johnson. He was also preceded in death by two sisters. He was from a large family, so from an early age he always assumed the role of caregiver to his younger siblings.

He migrated to the United States of America on February 1973 to work in the Furniture Industry. After many years of working in furniture he started his own cleaning business while still working a fulltime job. He finally retired from Guilford County Schools in 2015 and ended the cleaning business in 2017. Since then he’s been enjoying retirement at home.

He was a devoted Christian and a faithful member of Greater New Hope Baptist Church.

Left behind to cherish his memory are Delrose, his wife of 46 years; daughter, Nadine; grandson, Shannon; extended family, Kay, Kevin and Noel along with sister, Laurel; brothers, Carlton, Bradford, Fitzroy, Albert, Wilbert, Devon, Barrington and Desmond; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

A private funeral service will be held Saturday, July 11, 2020 at Greater New Hope Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Piedmont Memorial Gardens. Mr. Wellington may be viewed on Friday, July 10, 2020 at Phillips Funeral Service Chapel from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.

Final arrangements are entrusted to Phillips Funeral Service, Inc.
