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.
 Ann Arbor Friends wish to express their sympathy and affection to Harriet's husband 
and children, and to the other members of her extended family circle.
