A memorial service will be held at Union Church of Hinsdale at a future date, followed by a private burial at Naperville Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gwen's name to a favorite charity, or to Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S. Garfield Ave. Hinsdale, IL 60521, or https://hinsdale.church.
