MONTEZUMA, GA - Desiree Nevaeh Wingard, of Montezuma, GA, passed away in her mother's arms on Friday, September 4, 2020. She was born on June 25, 2020 in the Americus hospital. Unknown to her parents, she had respiratory and cardiac problems which led to a transfer the respiratory NCU in Albany, Georgia.She stayed three weeks before she was transported to the Egleston Children's Hospital in Atlanta. There she spent seven and a half weeks between NICU and the Cardiac unit. There they monitored her heart failure that continued to progress. This was due to a large hole in her heart that caused it the pump 3-4 times harder than normal. This made it hard for her to gain weight, but still didn't stop her from letting us know what she wanted. She was a little, but strong fighter and was loved by many of the hospital staff. She was the happiest when being cuddled and loved on by her parents and family.

Funeral services were held at 10:00 AM, Monday, September 7, 2020 at the Montezuma Mennonite Church. Burial followed in the church cemetery.

Desiree is survived by her parents: Sawyer and Sondra Wingard. Both sets of grandparents: Jonathan and Connie Yoder, Olen and Emily Wingard; Aunts and Uncles: Monica, Maranatha, Jenson and Abby Yoder, Tye and Suzanna Wingard, Dallas Wingard. She was preceded in death by her aunt Stephanie Wingard.

She was dearly loved by many.

Desiree means "To Desire" and Nevaeh is "Heaven" spelled backward.
Little did we know when we chose this name, how fitting it would be for her.
