Gwendolin “Gwen” Gonyaw Mossman, age 91, went home peacefully to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 9, 2022. Born October 8, 1931 in Vershire Vermont to parents Clifford and Marion (Towle) Johnson, she was one of ten children. “Gwen” was predeceased in 2002 by her longtime husband and friend, of 52 years, Bernard Gonyaw, with whom she resided in Bolton. She was also predeceased by her husband of 12 years, Edward Mossman, where they spent their golden years in South Berwick, Maine.
In all areas of life, whether social, family or church, Gwen was beloved by all, with her home being a welcomed gathering place for both friends and those in need. She was a tireless caregiver to her first husband and many others. Most importantly, she loved God and her family, placing them first in everything she did.
Gwen is survived by her loving children, Joanne Scavetta, Sharon Gonyaw, Gregg and Lisa Gonyaw, Harold Gonyaw, Jeffrey and Shannan Gonyaw, and Mathew Gonyaw. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Guy and Naomi Mossman, Brian Mossman, Pam and Mark Benoit, and Brenda Mossman. Gwen will be greatly missed by numerous adored grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as her siblings, Clifford (Bud) Johnson, Eydie Bryant and Cedric Johnson, with their spouses.
