To the world, she was “Sis.”
To us, simply Nan.
And always, home.
She didn’t come from abundance. She came from humility.
In her 94 years, Myrtle Arlene Winkler Thompson built something far more lasting than wealth. She built a legacy rooted in hard work, resilience, generosity, and love. Everything good in us — the way we show up, the way we care for others, the way we work — traces back to her.
Winkler Apiaries is named in her honor, because her spirit is the foundation of everything we are. This is where it begins.
