Dear Family and Friends,
It is with tears of sorrow and of joy that we are writing to tell you of our mothers passing. She passed this evening about 7:40.
Gwendolyn was a loving mother and wife to her husband, Charles, and her three children.
She was a remarkable cook and homemaker.
She was very creative and often sewed clothing for her family.
She made Christmas special every year, arising early to bake her Christmas Gugel Bread.
She loved working with children, putting on Christmas plays at church and later, volunteering with the grandchildren’s school drama performances.
She loved to sing silly songs with us children and many a road trip is remembered by her teaching us to sing.
She not only made birthday cakes for us, but also made them for neighborhood children.
She is preceded in Homegoing by her husband of 61 years, Charles.
She leaves behind 3 children, Heidi McManus and husband, Chuck, Linda Purvis and husband Wayne and Charles(Chuck) Hunt and wife Denise.
She loved each of her grandchildren, Angela, Ian, Lauren, Charlie, Hayley, Robert, Andrew, Shannon, Kelby and Tyler.
And her great grandchildren , Hannah, Hunter, Ian, Rhiver, Christian, Jade , Aurora, Zayden , Cainan, Emily, Kaci, Gage, Madison, Rowan, and the newest, Campbell Leigh.
At Mama’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial. She has left instructions for her children to carry out.
We are asking that if you want to do something for her, please send a card of gratitude to the wonderful nursing staff at Pruitthealth Seaside, 1000 Dorset Road, Port Wentworth, Georgia, 31407
Or make a contribution in her name to your favorite charity.
