Winston was born in Early County, GA on July 16, 1928, the youngest son of the late Idus Derrell Felder and Eula Paulk Felder.

He married his high school sweetheart, Winifred Alexander, and they began farming land his father left him along the Chattahoochee River. Over the years, he transitioned Riverside Farm from row crops to cattle and eventually to pine trees.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Winifred, daughter, Anne Marshall (Billy, deceased) and grandson, Kevin Marshall as well as siblings Analine Nelson, Derrell Felder, Winifred Graham, Alfred ‘Red’ Felder and Tommy Felder.
