Tennessee Pastor, Matthew Winkler Funeral, Laid to Rest
Hundreds of mourners gathered at the Fourth Street Church of Christ in Selmer, TN for the funeral of Matthew Winkler.
The news media were not allowed inside the church, but those who attended the service said the minister was eulogized as a devoted husband and father.
Barbara Letson of Decatur, Ala., said Eddie Thompson, one of two people leading the service, didn’t mention Mary Winkler by name or describe what happened.
There has still been no motive as to why this tragic crime took place. Mary Winkler, the wife of the murdered pastor has allegedly confessed to the crime. However, this has not yet been confirmed. Church members stated that they had never seen any problems between the two.
Church members have said they saw nothing but a loving relationship between Matthew Winkler, a third-generation minister described as outgoing and full of charisma, and Mary Winkler, described as reserved but kind.
