It is with profound sadness that we announce Gwen’s passing at the age of 76 years after a courageous battle with cancer.
Gwen was born in Indian Head, SK and attended school in Kipling, SK. She later started a successful career in Saskatoon, SK at the Federated Co-operatives Limited where she worked her way up to a department manager. She was well known for being hard-working and disciplined as any of her coworkers would attest to. After retiring and moving to Regina, SK Gwen found a very special work family at 20Twenty Wealth Management where she enjoyed the final years of her working career. All who knew Gwen admired her strength, grace and compassion. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her sense of humour was a gift to us all. She taught us that a good laugh often at ourselves was food for the soul. She loved nothing more than time with family and friends visiting, reminiscing and laughing. Food was a love language for Gwen and we all cherished the countless meals we were blessed to have with her. Gwen was a “plugged in” grandmother loving and supportive to the end. She will be forever missed.
Gwen was predeceased by her parents Lloyd and Muriel Trotter and her sister Betty Stevenson. Gwen leaves to mourn her husband of 58 years Arthur Szakacs; daughter Cindy (Taylor) Szakacs; son Lyall (Lisa) Szakacs and their children Dane and Ty; son Brock (Tracey) Szakacs and their children Erik, Irelynd and Cambri; nieces Leslie and Lani; nephews Dale and Lee; along with many nieces and nephews too numerous to list, but always in her heart.
Special thanks to all the staff at the Regina General Hospital and Pasqua Hospital for their exceptional care given to Gwen.
Interment and Celebration of Gwen’s Life will take place in Corning, SK at a later date yet to be determined. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made in Gwen’s memory to the Allan Blair Cancer Centre.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Gwendolyn Gwen Jean Szakacs October 2nd 2021..
