Willie W. Windham, 83, of Southaven, formerly of Grenada, died Aug.  26, 2018, in Southaven.  He was born April 7, 1935 in Leflore County, Miss.,  to Vernon Otho and Ida Blakey Windham. He graduated from Gore Springs High School. After graduation, he entered the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany. He later worked for Mississippi Power & Light Co. from 1957 to 1994. He enjoyed golfing, bowling, fishing, hunting and flea markets (even having his own stall for a while).
