A loving wife and mother, Gwenn doted most on her grandchildren, who returned her love unconditionally. Gwenn was a member of the First United Methodist Church.

She had a gift for friendship and will be missed by countless friends dating back to her girlhood, extending into college, and continuing throughout her adult life. Her warmth comforted many people who turned to her for advice and solace. She had style and liked nothing more than shopping for clothes and going out to lunch, whether with friends or family. The family will hold a private graveside service at Woodside Cemetery on Saturday, 16 August, at 11:30 a.m., followed by a celebration of Gwenn's life, at noon, at the Breitenbach-McCoy- Leffler funeral home, for friends.
