Comments about ‘Got more than milk? Winder family has proud Utah legacy’

What a nice tribute to this family! Well deserved.

Very nice article, but the author forgot two women. Susan Winder Tanner served as general president of the LDS Young Women organization until recently, and her mother, Barbara Woodhead Winder, served as General President of the LDS Relief Society in the late 1980s.

When I was a child growing up in Draper, UT, we had milk delivery from Winder Dairy. They had something called "Yammy Yogurt", which was a plain yogurt, and my first taste of yogurt. It was similar to buttermilk, which I also like. Anyway, to this day, I do not like any other yogurt, especially with fruit in it. That's just weird! And the plain versions of other brands just don't taste the same. I wish I could still get Winder's Yammy Yogurt.

Many years ago, Richard Winder was my Stake President. Also, we have always enjoyed taking our children down "Winder Lane" to see the Christmas lights. One year I had to drop my kids off the side of the narrow road because my old Rambler wouldn't clear the speed bumps with them in the car. I had to drive to the end where I could turn around and come back and pick up my poor, cold children. It has become a funny memory for all of us now. That was about 22 years ago.

A great legacy has been built through the generations of this wonderful family.

When my kids were small I loved having fresh milk delivered twice a week, rain or shine. One summer I forgot to cancel the Friday delivery, as we were going out of town for a long holiday weekend. When I got back the milk had been sitting on my shady porch for several days in the July heat. It hadn't soured. That shows you how fresh their delivered milk is!!!

I can highly recommend their delivery service. They never once missed, even in horrible weather. It was so reassuring to know my kids would have milk even in a snowstorm.

Was just studying all the pictures, and in picture #11 it reads: A white hearse carries President John R. Winder up South Temple after his funeral services in the Tabernacle in March 1910. (Utah State Historical Society)

If you look closely at the picture you can see the Assembly Hall and Tabernacle in the background, which would indicate the procession was on West Temple, headed south. They are turning onto South Temple right there at that corner, but the white hearse is still on West Temple.

Really interesting photos, and article. And yes, you forgot Sister Susan Winder Tanner and Sister Barbara Winder, so thanks for the reminder, Alan Sutton @ 11:02am.

I wish we still lived where we could receive dairy delivery from this great organization.

Utahgirl, I wish I knew who you were. Your story sounds almost exactly like mine, and I am also from Vernal. We lived on 4100 South and had one of the Winders as a stake president back in 2000. We also went down the lane to look at the lights as well. Very interesting! Great great family. One of the best!
