Born in Lynchburg, May, 19, 1950, she was a daughter of the late Evelyn Louise Honaker. Gwen loved to cook, sew and kept an immaculate house. Most of all she loved her family, her grandchildren were her treasures and she was an exceptional mother and grandmother. She instilled a strong work ethic and family values that have served them well. She was the “glue” that kept everyone together. She was the best “nanny” anyone could ask for. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. She leaves us behind with many beautiful memories.
