Ms. Gwendolyn "Gwen" Stowell Stone, age 85 passed away Monday, May 30, 2016 at Transitional Health Services in Kannapolis.
A service to celebrate Gwen's life will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, June 25, 2016 at Central United Methodist Church with Rev. Andy Langford officiating.
Gwen was born January 30, 1931 in Springfield, MA, daughter of the late Clarence E. and Minnie Sinclair Stowell. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Cynthia Jaredine Stone, son, Larry Edwin Stone and her sister, Olive Stowell Carlson.
Gwen had been a resident of Transitional for several years. She enjoyed playing games such as solitaire and bingo and she would watch pro football on TV. She was a member of Central United Methodist Church and the Ellen Pemberton Sunday school class. Gwen was very strong willed and opinionated but she was also very caring and loving to others. Her smile lit up a room and her wit would draw a quick laugh. She will certainly be missed by those who knew and loved her.
Surviving Gwen is her son, Richard Allen Stone of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; grandchildren, Corey and Calie Stone; niece, Linda Carlson Hall and many other loving relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Ruth Dollars c/o Central UMC, 30 Union Street N, Concord, NC 28025.
