Jimmie Wayne Newton, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away

on December 21, 2023 at the age of 83.  He was born on January 6, 1940, in Dothan, Alabama.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, at 2 P.M.  at Ward Wilson Funeral Home Chapel.  The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.  Burial will follow in the Gardens of Memory Cemetery with Pastor Michael Smith Jr. and Reverend Sam White officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Grimes Methodist Church (404 Paramore Road, Dothan, AL  36303) where Wayne was a member.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Newton and Rosa Mae Kilgore Newton, and his beloved daughter, Kimberly Newton Henderson.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, embodied by his wife of sixty-two years, Sylvia Vickery Newton, who stood by his side through life’s journey.  A sister Marianne Witchterman (John), and her children, Graham and Leslee.  Three granddaughters, Garris Jones (Jade), Emma Rose Taylor (Matt), and Shellie Strickland.  Two great-grandchildren, Laney Shea Jones and Xander Jones. 

 A dedicated employee, Wayne retired from Fort Rucker after thirty-four years of service as a

helicopter mechanic.  He was always ready to lend a helping hand.  Wayne’s passion for stock car racing spanned over thirty years, bringing so many good friends and good times into his life.  

Wayne Newton’s journey on earth may have come to a close, but his life will forever be etched in the hearts of those who loved him.
