Gwen retired from real estate in 2014 after a 41 year long career that she loved. She won many awards and made many friends along the way. She enjoyed going to visit Christina and her wonderful family in NB and loved seeing them when they came here for a visit. She enjoyed catching up with friends over lunch, coffee or drives in the car. Gwen was never happier than watching Gavin play basketball or hearing stories of what he was up to- she enjoyed watching him grow up. He has many great memories of her taking him to gym and swim, the museum or play places in his younger years, more recently shopping, going out for supper or just hanging out.
