Gwen was an active member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Ware, MA for nearly 60 years. She enjoyed talking to people about the Bible and the hope that it offers. She conducted many Bible Studies and was very hospitable. Her home was open to fellow brothers and sisters doing ministry work, always having refreshments ready. Biscotti was her signature offering.

Friends were always welcome in the evening to play cards or board games. Rummikub was her favorite game and she was often the winner. Gwen was active and enthusiastic, often called “The Energizer Bunny” by her friends. Her loving personality, strong faith, energy, and friendliness will be missed by all who knew her.
