Gwen Moore Lawhorn

Gwendolyn (Gwen) Moore Lawhorn, 58, of Citrus Springs, FL. passed away on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at her home with her husband and family by her side. She was the loving wife of Robert L. Lawhorn, Jr., for 37 years. Born in Lynchburg, VA November 11, 1965, she was the daughter of the late Burnace Allan Moore and late Geraldine Racer Metz. She was also preceded in death by her father and mother-in-law, Robert, and Sylvia Lawhorn. Gwen was a member of Trinity Methodist Church in Concord, VA. She loved her family and loved spending time with them and with her friends.
Gwen is survived by her three precious children, Christopher Lawhorn and wife Monica of Appomattox, VA; Jason Lawhorn and wife Kaitlin currently serving in Germany; and Laina Lawhorn and partner Jonorah of Concord, NC. She is further survived by three beautiful and cherished granddaughters, Trinity Grace, Clover Lynn, and Jamie Blake Lawhorn.
Gwen leaves her devoted sister, Deborah M. Foster (Thomas), as well as sisters-in-law Elizabeth L. Allen (Stanley) and Cynthia L. Shepard; nieces Chelsea Moore, Brittany Davis, Lisa Merrill, Erika Carpenter, Brittany Davies; nephews Derek Allen, Bobby Day, along with three great nieces and seven great nephews. Gwen was like a mother to many of her children’s friends and is survived by many cousins and friends.
Fishing with Robert was something Gwen loved to do. She enjoyed being in the pool, crafting, and at age 50 picked up a paintbrush and created beautiful artwork, gifting many people with her original paintings and handcrafts. Attending conventions brought Gwen great pleasure, especially with Vampire Diaries/The Originals. Gwen's home was important to her, and she relished decorating for every holiday. All holidays were special to Gwen, particularly Halloween and Christmas, and she was well known for hosting a feast for family and friends. Gwen will be missed by so many who loved her. Her kindness and the way she nurtured and cared for others made us all feel special.
A memorial service will be held at 2 pm, Sunday, November 10, 2024, at Robinson Funeral Home with Rev. Brenda Yuille officiating.
The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
The family would like to thank Vitas Healthcare and especially McKenzie for their care for Gwen. Gwen had many caregivers who were there for her, including Robert, Cindy, Liz, Lisa, Laina, Debbie and especially her faithful dog Peanut, who would alert everyone if Gwen needed to get up or when she called for us.
