DUNDEE - Flora
Inez Wyngate of Dundee, Florida,
passed away Sunday, January 27, 2008
at the Winter Haven Hospital.
She was 93 years old.
A native of Milam County,
Texas, born November 21, 1914, Inez
moved to this area 1990 from
Louisiana.
She was a retired Librarian
from the East Baton Rouge Parish
Library in Louisiana.
Inez was also a member of the
Winter Haven Church of Christ.
Mrs.
Wyngate was the eldest of 4
children born to Joseph Wilson
and Lucy Wilson (McGregor). She
was the sole surviving member of
her siblings (Benton, Tolliver,
Hazel). She received her
education in Friendship Texas,
and attended nursing school.
Because of the
Great Depression she
dropped out of advanced
education to help support her
younger sister thru nursing
school. Much of her life would
be the same, placing others
needs before her own. She
worked at various careers until
her marriage to Hal T. Wyngate
in 1937 in
New Orleans , Louisiana .
The family
moved to
Baton Rouge , Louisiana
in 1947 where she eventually
began working for the East Baton
Rouge Parish Library. During
the last decade at the library
and after her retirement she
began to pursue two of her
favorite pastimes – bird
watching and travel. She had a
exceptional gift when it came to
nurturing plants and flowers.
In
exploring her various interests
she traveled extensively,
eventually visiting 40 States,
including
Alaska . Much of this
travel was done solo, and some
with close friends from the
library. This travel gave her
ample opportunity to become an
accomplished and skilled bird
watcher. After retirement she
based her travel out of
Dundee , Florida . She
has attended the Church of
Christ at 142 Ave C SW, Winter
Haven for nearly 2 decades.
