Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cornerstone Funeral Home and Cremations on Feb. 6, 2026.
Flossie Mae Winstead, 96, of Nashville, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026. Born on July 5, 1929, she was the daughter of the late Jerry Fisher and Mattie Harper Fisher.

Flossie lived a long, life centered around faith, family, and the simple joys she cherished most. She was known for her loving spirit, her love for the kitchen, and her talent for sewing-skills she shared generously with those she loved. Her home was a place of warmth, good food, and comfort.

She is survived by her son, John Winstead Jr. (Felicia); her daughter, Faye Bone; daughter-in-law Jill Winstead and five grandchildren: Jay Winstead, Dustin Bone (Bobbi Jo), Kristie Wilson, Megan Sutton, and Paige Winstead. She also leaves behind three great grandchildren who brought her immense joy.

Along with her parents, Flossie was preceded in death by her husband, John Aster Winstead Sr.; her son, Nelson Ray Winstead; her son in law, Roy H. Bone Jr.; and her three brothers: Clem Fisher, Earl Fisher, and John Ira Fisher.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on February 10, 2026, at Cornerstone Funeral Home, with Dr. Billy Seate officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Forest Hill Cemetery.
