She met her husband, Doyle P. Smith, while attending University of Colorado. They were married 35 years before he passed in 1998.

Gretchen is survived by her brother Bill Seidl and his wife Debbie Seidl of Shalimar, Florida, and their children John Seidl and his wife Lauren of Marietta, Georgia as well as Katie Kocik and her husband Mike of Pittsford, New York. She is also survived by her daughters Gretchen and her husband Larry West of Centennial, Colorado and Brianna Smith of Westminster, Colorado. Lastly, Gretchen is survived by her grandchildren Roman and Mikaela West of Centennial.
The family wishes to express gratitude and love to all of Gretchen's friends and neighbors who enjoyed her company and looked after her with kindness. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Denver Dumb Friends League and the Denver Botanic Gardens.
