Memorial Service Held For Murdered Former Molino Resident
December 8, 2010
A memorial service was held Wednesday in Pensacola for Winter Delane Wingard, the former Molino resident murdered last week in South Carolina.
Wingard is survived by her mother, Beverly Patrick of Gaffney, South Carolina; sister Summer Dawn Wingard of Pensacola; her grandmother, Mary Ann Patrick of Pensacola; and numerous other relatives and friends.
Cherokee County (SC) Coroner Dennis Fowler said Winter Delane Windguard’s body was found on the side of a rural road last Thursday. Fowler said Monday that Wingard, 26, died as the result of hemorrhages caused by blunt force injury to her head. Fowler said the victim was severely beaten in the head and neck and strangled. In addition, the coroner said Wingard sustained multiple stab wounds to the neck.
Monday, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office charged Joey L. Clark of Mooresboro N.C. with Wingard’s death. He is being held without bond.
Wingard’s mother reported the 26-year old missing Thursday night, saying that she was last seen about 1:30 that morning as she left her home in Gaffney, SC., in her mother’s vehicle to go to a store.
Winter Wingard’s sister Summer Wingard said the sisters formerly lived on Molino Road. Winter Wingard attended Molino Elementary, Ransom Middle and Tate High before completing her education online.
Gaffney is a town of about 13,000 people about 20 miles northeast of Spartanburg, South Carolina.
