December 25, 1922 – July 24, 2017

Our Angel Gwen received her wings on July 24, 2017 at the age of 94. She has now been reunited with those she has missed and loved since their departures. Gwen was predeceased by her husband John “The Love of Her Life” in Castlegar on August 23, 1993. She was also predeceased by three of her four siblings, her brother Roy, and sisters Marge and Phyllis. Left to celebrate her life, sister Audrey, foster daughter Wendy (Chuck) and their children, several nieces, nephews, and their children, plus many wonderful friends and acquaintances made over many years. Gwen spent several years in the north as John worked in the education system, before returning to Castlegar to nish his career and retire. Gwen remained in Castlegar until 1999, and then moved to West Vancouver to be closer to family and friends. She remained there until early April 2017, when moved to Stanford Seniors Village in Parksville to maintain her independence. Gwen enjoyed children, dogs and wild birds. She often fed the birds which would warm her heart and bring a smile to her face. Gwen enjoyed travelling and loved road trips when they would come her way. But most of all she enjoyed time spent with family and friends. Gwen remained strong willed and independent until her passing. Those that knew her will truly miss the special person she was.
