faithfully all the days that her health would allow. She served 
a full-time mission for the church in the Idaho Pocatella mission. 
Gwen was a retired schoolteacher. 

Gwen's interests were many and varied. She loved the outdoors. 
She loved to build and create. She loved her family and had a 
great interest in genealogy. She loved to do things with her 
talented hands. It could be playing the piano, building some kind 
of contraption, driving or fixing a tractor, milking a cow or 
riding a horse. She was active in everything that was family, 
school or church. She loved her neighbors and dedicated much 
energy in seeing to their welfare. She leaves a great legacy to 
her family and to those who knew her - a legacy defined in 
kindness, charity, hard work and faith.
