MAIRIAM WINN 05/09/1939 - 10/29/2025 Richfield, Utah: Mairiam Millie Atkin Fordham Winn passed away peacefully at her home on October 29, 2025, at the age of 86, surrounded by her loving family in Richfield, UT. Mom was born May 9, 1939, in Salina, Utah, to Millie Atkin. Growing up, she attended the North Sevier schools. She married the love of her life, James R. Winn, on June 30, 1956, in Elko, Nevada. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple on March 24, 2001. They shared 49 wonderful years together until Dad's passing in 2006. Mom was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a quiet but unwavering testimony and served in many callings over the years, including Primary, Relief Society, and as a Den Mother. Her favorite calling was being a visiting teacher, where she formed many cherished friendships. She worked at the Pacific Trails sewing plant and continued her love of sewing throughout her life. Mom lovingly sewed clothes for her children and grandchildren, blessing dresses for each granddaughter and even created personalized porcelain dolls dressed in its own blessing dress to be gifted on baptism day. Mom also made pieced quilts for each of her nine grandchildren. She spent countless hours teaching them to sew and craft, making quilts, baby blankets, Halloween costumes, and even doll and Barbie clothes. After her children were grown, Mom worked at Knit-N-Craft, a job that perfectly matched all her talents and creative mind. This is the place where many lifelong friendships were made. She taught sewing classes, and she also enjoyed tole and oil painting, crocheting, and candy making. Mom had a love for bowling. She spent several days a week playing in local leagues. She even traveled with her teams to out-of-state tournaments, returning home proudly with several trophies. After Dad retired, they took up woodcutting and crafting, selling their creations at The Quilted Bear for many years. In her later years, Mom found joy in reading and working on puzzles. Mom took great pride in her home. Always keeping it updated and decorated for the holidays. There was always a remodel in the making. All who visited felt at home, so it was only natural that this is where many family gatherings took place over the years. That's when Mom was at her happiest.
