Now his quiet and unassuming wife, 33-year-old Mary Winkler, is set to stand trial on first-degree murder charges. Jury selection was scheduled to begin Monday.
Authorities said Matthew Winkler, 31, was struck by a single blast from a 12-gauge shotgun as he lay in bed. His wife was arrested a day later in Orange Beach, Ala., some 340 miles away from Selmer, with the couple's three young daughters.
Police say she admitted shooting her husband, and that it had something to do with his constant criticism.
"It was just building up to this point," Mary Winkler said, according to a statement taken by Alabama police. "I was just tired of it. I guess I just got to a point and snapped."
But friends have said they can't understand how someone as sweet and quiet as Mary Winkler could be charged with murder.
