Gwen is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was a stalwart member and had a very strong testimony of Jesus Christ. She held many callings in the church, from Primary to Young Women’s. She served a mission for the church at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. She took many college classes to better herself to help her raise her 5 children as a single mother for many years. She was a great mother and provider. We never lacked for anything. She lived in many places in her lifetime but her two favorite places were at the old Goodman Sawmill above Vernon where she grew up part of her young life. The Goodman Sawmill no longer exists. Her second favorite places were in Utah and Idaho. She loved it there.

We all will truly miss her. We love you, Mom! The family will hold a memorial service for her at a later date.
