James (“Jim”) Edward Winder was born to the late Charley (“CF”) and Edna Winder in Morton, Texas on April 6th, 1931. A farmer, army veteran, and postmaster, Jim lived a life dedicated to serving Christ.
Jim was blessed with a loving family and was most proud of being a husband and father. He married Doris Gardner in Morton, Texas on January 30th, 1953. Jim helped raise his two children Charles and Ranae with a sense of humility, patience, and discipline. Jim was kind and virtuous, and known by all who met him as a “good” man.
Jim and his wife Doris were world travelers and visited all 50 states and 7 continents. When not traveling, Jim was a talented carpenter and enjoyed spending time in his woodshop. He also loved playing dominoes and cards with friends.
