Dudley Windham Obituary

Mr. Dudley Melvin Windham, 94, passed away on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at his residence.

Mr. Windham was born on May 13, 1931, in Leflore to the late Otho Windham and Ida Blakely Windham. He was a faithful member of Leflore Baptist Church and honorably served his country in the United States Army Reserves.

Dudley dedicated more than 36 years of his working life to Cooper Tire, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dependability. Following retirement, he found great joy in maintaining his farm in the Providence Community. He especially took pleasure in cutting timber from his land and milling it himself with the sawmill he operated on his property. Many family members were blessed by his generosity through the lumber he provided for their own construction projects.
