I'm so sorry to hear of this. She was a really neat lady and im glad I got to know her over the years as she carpooled with my mom. I hope they're both catching up and enjoying music now wherever they both are now.

Pam and Bruce: Don and I are sending our condolences to you and your family as you celebrate Gwen's life. I met her a few times at the cabin at Lone Star and she was really a neat lady who I didn't know real well, but as I read her obituary, I can see that she lived a wonderful life and I know she always had you to depend on. Life keeps throwing us curve balls, but we can keep dodging them as they come. Seems like forever since we've seen you - you know where we live, for a while anyway. Best regards, Terri Gibbs

I´m so sorry to hear this! She was my music teacher at Appanoose when I was a kid! I remember her passion and love for art and music!

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Gwen. She was Gwen Altic when I knew her as our choir director at Trinity Lutheran Church. My brother, Steve Pendleton, and I (the former Helen Pendleton) sang in the church choir for years. I learned a lot from her, and called her a few years ago to reconnect and to thank her. Gwen and her family lived a few houses north of us on Connecticut Street, and I remember the tragic death of her father, Ralph Altic, who died when a train hit his car that was struck on the tracks. My deepest condolences to all her loved ones. May they experience the peace of Jesus.

So sorry to hear of Gwen's passing. I remember when the Altic family lived on Connecticut street and her father Ralph owned the Altic Champion Gas station in North Lawrence. Gwen's sister Nancy was a classmate of mine.
