Wayne Leach Suffers Fatal Throat Slash
Wayne Leach, 34, Corsicana, was dead on arrival at
Memorial Hospital late Tuesday night following a fight
near Richland in which Leach allegedly sustained a deep
throat cut.
Arrested was Robert Everett Hollingsworth, 24, of
Dresden, who made a statement that he cut Leach with a
pocket knife, according to Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse.
Also taken into custody was material witnesses, were
DeWayne Leach, 34, twin brother of the victim; and
Charles Ray, of Corsicana.
A charge of murder against Hollingsworth was filed in
Justice G. C. Bowden's court about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday
and bond was set $1,000. Hollingsworth was returned to
county jail.
The twin brother was released Wednesday morning and Ray
was being questioned in the county attorney's office.
Pevehouse said Hollingsworth stated that he drew his
pocket knife and cut Leach as they sat in an auto on a
farm to market road about 1.5 miles west of Richland.
Leach had hit Hollingsworth with a bottle. Pevehouse
quoted Hollingsworth as saying, and this was the climax
to several arguments that had erupted since the four had
left Navarro county about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Tour Extended
The tour carried the quartet to Malone, Waco and Mexia,
Pevehouse said he was told, and during the course of the
trip a large amount of beer and vodka was consumed.
As the four approached Richland Tuesday night another
argument had developed between the victim and
Hollingsworth, and the driver of the car stopped so it
could be settled. Pevehouse said Hollingsworth related
to him.
The sheriff said he received a call about 10:15 p.m.
from a woman in Richland who reported that a man had
come to her house and told her to notify law
authorities, that he had cut a man and didn't know if he
were dead or not.
It was reported that the woman told the man to sit on
the front porch and wait until the sheriff arrived.
However, according to Pevehouse when he and Deputy Dick
Salter arrived, the man had fled into a corn field.
The sheriff and Salter then began to search the area, he
reported, and soon came upon a motorist who reported
that he had seen a man standing by the road at another
location.
They found the man still standing there, the sheriff
said. It was Hollingsworth. They took him into custody
without any acts of resistance and he promptly made a
statement that he cut Leach with a knife, Pevehouse
reported.
Deputy Howe French arrested the twin brother about 1
a.m. in Corsicana and Ray surrendered to the sheriff's
department early Wednesday morning, it was reported.
Dead On Arrival
Leach was carried to Memorial Hospital in a Corley
ambulance, but he was dead on arrival, it was reported.
According to Pevehouse, the victim was practically
decapitated.
Leach, a farmer was born in Blooming Grove and was
reared at Rice. He resided at 614 West Third avenue,
Corsicana.
Funeral services will be held from the Corley Chapel
Thursday at 3:30 p.m. with burial in the
Hamilton Cemetery.
The rites will be conducted by Rev. Ray Turner, pastor
of the Fellowship Baptist church, and Rev. Hoyt Hefner,
Baptist minister.
Surviving are a daughter, Johnnie Earl Leach, Corpus
Christi; his father, R. T. Leach, Corsicana; two
brothers, Jack and DeWayne Leach, both of Corsicana;

Patricia Lee
(Steward) Willhite-Goodnight
Aug 19, 1934 - Oct 30, 2013
 Patricia
Lee Steward Willhite Goodnight finally won her
eight-year battle with recurrent breast cancer by going
to her Heavenly Home with a new healthy body on
Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013.
She was born to Ethel Clara Jones Steward O'Rear and
Carl Pierce Steward in Portland, Ore. on Aug. 19, 1934.
They lived in many places, but did most of her growing
up in Rock Springs, Wyo. before moving to Anchorage,
Alaska in 1954 with her dad.
While in Alaska, she met and married Clarence A.
Willhite and had three children. She was a very active
member of the Southern Baptist Church and worked for
many years for the State of Alaska in the Department of
Fish and Game, Health Department and Department of
Transportation. One of her beloved hobbies was ceramics.
She became a certified Duncan instructor, had her own
kiln and shared her talents with many others. She
especially loved working with the unique Alaskan Clay.
She �retired� to Arizona where she went to work for
America West Airlines so she could enjoy traveling. It
was there she met and married Jack Goodnight and she
continued her ceramics while enjoying traveling
frequently.
After her breast cancer metastasized to her bones and
lungs eight years ago, she moved to Corsicana so she
could be close to family and receive treatments. She
could no longer work with ceramics due to the dust, but
she didn't let her creative spirit be stifled. She began
making beaded jewelry. When her kids gave her a glass
jewelry making class for Christmas one year, she started
her love affair with a new medium. She was happiest when
she was creating and giving away. She always put others
before herself.
She passed from this life to the arms of Jesus with the
same grace, dignity and selflessness that she lived her
life, always putting others before herself. She often
asked her caregivers if they needed a pillow, a blanket,
or to be sure and get some rest. So very typical of the
kind of person she was.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a younger
sister, Maxine Harter Hawkins; her husband Jack
Goodnight and a great-granddaughter, Morgan Davis.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Vicki
and Joe Sims of Corsicana, her daughter and son-in-law,
Bonnie and Merle Shugart of Baton Rouge, La., her son
and daughter-in-law Scott and Allison Willhite of
Seattle, Wash.; grandchildren Amanda Shugart, Andrew and
Heather Shugart, Kristi and Joe Chandler, Aaron Sims and
Kyle McAfee; great-granddaughters Alex Davis and Reagan
Shugart; sister and brother-in-law Carla and Donald
Plessman of Casper, Wyo.; many loving nieces, nephews,
cousins and great nieces and nephews.
Her sweet, loving spirit and presence will be missed by
many, but she awaits us in Heaven.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday,
Nov. 2, 2013 at Northside Baptist Church with Paster
Rick Lamb officiating.
In lieu of flowers, she requested donations to Northside
Baptist Church building fund or music ministry or The
American Cancer Society.
