STEVENS, Lonnie Cecil, age 79 of Winchester, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, May 15, 2026. He was born on August 31, 1946, in the Anderson Community of Franklin County to the late Tommie Stevens and Annie Pearl (Wells) Stevens Caldwell. Lonnie retired after 36 years with CSX railroad as a conductor.
