Gwenda was a long time Sunday School teacher to many children; she loved teaching the Bible to children. For the last 11 years, she was at Gulf to Lake Church teaching the third through fifth grade students. She loved watching their eyes light up when they remembered what she had taught them about Jesus.
Gwenda loved her Lord and Savior first and foremost, for she knew that she was a child of God, and was followed closely by her family, especially her grandchildren.
She loved to draw and paint, and was especially skilled at capturing detail in her art.
Gwenda will be missed greatly, but we all know that she is no longer in pain and is where she was destined to be, with her Heavenly Father in Heaven.
There will be a Memorial Service for Gwenda on Friday, December 27th, at 10:30 A.M., at Gulf to Lake Church, Crystal River, Florida.
