In loving memory of James Winford Boyd Sr.

Born on August 12, 1941, in Belden, Mississippi, James Winford Boyd Sr. passed away on November 4, 2024, at New Albany Health and Rehab, surrounded by his family. He will be dearly missed by his daughter Teressa Potts (James), son James Boyd (Jeana), daughter Melody Medlin (Rickey), sister Marie McKenney, brothers Don, Johnny, and Rory Boyd, 5 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren and his beloved spouse Swanda Boyd.

Throughout his life, James was a dedicated factory worker in the Masco industry, known for his strong work ethic and commitment to providing for his family. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, often spending his days hunting, fishing, and camping in the great outdoors.

James was preceded in death by his first wife Mary Ann Stokes Boyd, parents: Harvey Boyd, Mattie Boyd, siblings; Tommy Boyd, Sharon Wages, Patsy Boyd.

After the service, James will be laid to rest at Glenfield Memorial Park. Bro. Randy Hamilton will be officiating the service.

Though we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the legacy of kindness, hard work, and love that James leaves behind. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of all who knew him. May his spirit continue to live on in the memories and stories shared by those whose lives he touched.

Glenfield Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the care and arrangements of Mr. Boyd.
