Ann Arbor Friends Meeting: MINUTE ON HARRIET WINDER
The following minute was approved in our October Meeting for Business:
Harriet Winder, our dearly beloved friend and neighbor, died on September 24, 1959. Harriet entered into her many concerns and activities with a keen intelligence and an outpouring of love. Especially dear to her heart were the children and youth of our Meeting community and of the world. Her work with the Sunday School, the Young Friends group, the Dennis Morley Fund, and young people's seminars, schools and workcamps was done with an understanding heart which endeared her to all the children and young people.
Harriet was loved and honored by people of all races and all walks of life. Her broad tolerance, deep understanding, and loving sympathy characterized all of her work with the Ann Arbor Council of Churches, the NAACP, and other groups. In these efforts, and in life as wife, mother, physician, and friend, she was beloved by all those whose lives were touched by hers. Into the depth of her concerns she brought a gentle humor which added a sparkle to the light she shed. For all of those who knew Harriet, the presence of her living spirit will continue to be felt. The foundations of her life were love and service. Her heart and home were always open to all, and the well-spring of her love was fathomless.
