Gwyn grew up in Nebraska, where she spent time with her dad, uncles, and grandparents on the family farm. After graduating from McCool Junction Public School in 2024, she moved to Alaska with her dad to launch into life. Gwyn loved her family and friends, and took pride in being a big sister and friend. Just at the beginning of her life, Gwyn had dreams and goals and wasn't afraid to try something new to see if it fit. Gwyn is remembered by Anthony (Jaqueline) Walters, Sally (Brandon Sharp) Schrader, siblings Oliver, Aurora, Wyatt, Eric, Cory, many grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends, who miss her dearly. Gwyn will take one last trip with her family to Nebraska where they will celebrate and remember her life.
