Carolyn Winder

Carolyn Winder, 72, died Friday, March 20, 2009, in Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee.

She was born Aug. 9, 1936, in Las Vegas, Nev., to LaRue and Wanda (Cooper) Barnum, the oldest of nine children.

Carolyn married Dewain Winder on Sept. 23, 1954, in the Cardston Alberta Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She faithfully served in the primary organization of the church for many, many years, and along with her husband Dewain, served as missionaries to the Royal Spanish Branch.

She will be remembered for her selfless community service, serving others and her family. She loved sewing, baking, and will be remembered for her cinnamon rolls. She worked for 30 years in the Royal School District and retired five years ago. She dearly loved her family and friends, and her smile will be missed by all who knew her.
