Gwen loved Bingo, whether it was Potawatomi, Flat Iron Mall, the Racine Labor Center, or Roma Lodge, she was there. Gwen also loved to barbeque; rain, shine, sleet, or snow she would fire that grill up. Gwen could light up a room even when she wasn’t trying to. Gwen made people laugh. She was the life of the party on any occasion, and most of all she loved her kids, grandkids and being around family.
