As a stay-at-home mom to her two children Clint and Krista, she was known for implementing "family nights" and traditions, hosting memorable dinners, capturing family pictures, attending every imaginable school/sporting event, and imparting wisdom, respect, and a love for Jesus. To her seven grandchildren, she was the ever-playful Nana; always available for fun, crafts, snacks, and kisses.Gwenda was also a librarian at both Palmer Lake and Monument, Colorado. Gwenda's radiant smile, quick-witted-one-line humor, caring heart, and servant spirit made her a friend to anyone.

Gwenda was always ready with the right answer and a warm smile; she was loved by thousands.
