In retirement, she and George enjoyed rural living in Markelsville, Pennsylvania, and later living near their children and grandchildren in Houston, Texas.

Gwen was an avid quilter, seamstress, gardener, and enjoyed reading murder mysteries and historical fiction, cooking new recipes, and watching wild birds in her backyard.
