During WWII when her husband served in the U.S. Army, they both worked at military hospitals and lived in many locations including the Panama Canal Zone, Seattle and New York. They returned to Pueblo in 1950, where her husband established his medical practice. The family had many great times on holidays in Aspen. Gwen loved golf, tennis, snow skiing and was an avid bowler. She served as Service League president and on the boards of the Broadway Theatre League and Pueblo Day Nursery. She was also a member of PEO Chapter CI.

Dear Rob, Liz and Families,
I wish I could be present for Gwen’s service, but, unfortunately I cannot. Just want you to know that I am thinking of you, wishing you peace, and feeling grateful that I had her for a friend. I, too, shall miss her lovely smile and gentle ways although, of late, I was not often fortunate enough to enjoy her company.
Sympathetically yours, Ann Leach
