Mrs. Preston, the daughter of James C. & Annie Paulk Womack, was born April 9, 1914, on a farm in the Dial-Harmon area. At a young age the family moved to Lamar County and settled in the Gadston Community. She married Hildra Carter Preston in 1931. They had four children and continued their farm life.
She had great memories of singing in church and school performances. She would probably attribute her long life of 105 years to a hard farm life and hardy laughter.
She was preceded in death by her husband on Aug. 22, 1982, a daughter, Faye Hambrick, a granddaughter, Valerie Preston Dibello, her parents and six siblings.
Survivors include two daughters, Bobbie McFadden and Sybil Martin, a son, Jimmy Don Preston & wife Bobbie, thirteen grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, great great grandchildren and many nieces & nephews.
