Survived by sisters-in law, Minnie McNeish, Vietta Watson and Nora Gray. Gwen was raised on a farm near Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan until moving with her family to Ontario at the age of 8. She grew up on the family farm in Brechin later moving to Toronto to attend business school. She married Garnet in Toronto and lived there until 1954 when they moved to their farm on the 6th line of West Luther. She raised her family and lived on the farm for the next 68 years. Gwen was active with the Gordonville Ladies Auxiliary, Damascus Women’s Institute and instrumental in creating the area Historical Tweedsmir Book. She was a seamstress, a lover of history, art and her ancestral roots. Whether it was working with fabric, writing or baking, her creative spark shown through. But most of all she was a mother, who devoted herself to her family, her grandkids and great grandkids.
We would like to thank the staff at Groves Memorial Hospital for their compassion and special care for Mom and accommodating our family during her stay.
