Gwendolyn Marion «Gwen» Watson – 82,
Harmony, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family,
on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, at Wynn Park Villa, Truro. Born in Upper
Vaughans, Hants County, she was a daughter of the late Lawson and
Marguerite (Rafuse) Church.
Gwen taught in Leminster in a one room schoolhouse, and then
went on to work at Scotiabank and then CIBC for 31 years from where
she retired. She was a member of St. Andrew’s United Church
and former member of McCulloch United Church and was a life-member of
the UCW; she had served as an Elder, Steward, Sunday school teacher
and on the Pastoral Care Team. She was a Lay Minister and received her
Christian Leadership Education certificate from Tatamagouche
Centre.
She volunteered her time with many organizations, including
the hospital gift shop. She enjoyed reading, knitting and quilting,
and many will forever treasure her fine works that will bring love and
warmth for years to come. She especially enjoyed looking after her
grandchildren, and Gwen always laughed at the way in which she would
mix up their names and in what order they were born in!
