Gwen was of the Lutheran faith. She expertly and lovingly balanced a homemaker’s and professional life working in many senior administration positions around the world including Calgary and Toronto in Canada, California, Maryland and Saudi Arabia.  She was an avid hockey fan and enthusiastic supporter of her husband, sons and grandson’s hockey teams as well as her favorite professional team, the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Gwen had a gentle personality with an infectious smile and lived life the way she taught her family:  Do what’s right, do what’s good, do it with kindness and help others.  She was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her sons, instilled in them strong values that have served them well and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Grandma and lovingly looked forward to every visit. Earlier in life she embraced and cherished her role as big sister to her siblings. She was truly one of a kind.
