Raised on a farm near Rossendale, Gwen spent most of her life in Southern Manitoba - she was a prairie girl at heart. Predeceased by her parents, Ernie and Eileen; brothers, Allan, Norman and Sidney and partner Al Harrison. Gwen's story telling abilities were a gift to bridge generations. She will always be remembered for her courage, inner fortitude, great faith, quirky sense of humour, love and compassion - and most of all her wonderful smile.

She will be lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Lynda Ward and Laurie Herron, both of Calgary; grandchildren, Gwen, Allan, Matthew, Michelle, Michael and Rebecca; great-grandchildren, Andrew, Caitlyn, Aiden, Hannah, Julia and Evan; her niece Marie Collins; sister-in-law Anna Collins; special family Lee and Suzy Harrison; special friends Pat and Rob; dedicated Home Care providers, friends and family.

To Lynda and Laurie, Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Although I didn't know her or the rest of my dad's family, it still affected me as I was named for her. It was wonderful to know that I did have family and was not alone. Again please accept my deepest sympathy. (Allan 's daughter Gwen) - Posted by: Gwen Gibson (Collins) (Family) on: Jul 28, 2007
