Gwen was born on April 27, 1958 in Beechy, SK. Growing up, her family lived in a number of Saskatchewan communities. Gwen completed her high school years in Hazlet and started a family shortly after. In November of 1990, Gwen moved her four children to Moose Jaw to embark on the next chapter of her life. She began school at SIAST where she met her future husband, Garth Rey. After receiving their accounting diplomas in 1993, Gwen and Garth moved to Regina, married, and added two sons to the family. While Gwen loved working with numbers and held various bookkeeping positions over the years, her family was her focus and her joy. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, baking, camping, and being out in nature. Ever the green thumb, Gwen loved tending to her flower beds and houseplants. She had inner strength in spades, but had an authentic, kind, gentle spirit and lived by the golden rule. Gwen passed away in Regina on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 surrounded by family. She is survived by her husband Garth Rey; children Mandy (Brian) Ferguson, Sheri (Brock) Swan, Jonathan (Kendra) Leier, Farrah (Jonathan) Semegen, Alexander (Salieena) Rey and Nickolas Rey; grandchildren Kristian (Hannah), Rebecca (Cameron), Maeve, Brynn, Grace, Ocean, Owen, Abigail, Patrick and Norah; and great grandchild Ronan. She was predeceased by her parents Pat and Mae Swan; sister Cathy McIntosh; brothers Jody and Jamie Swan; her father in law and mother-in-law, Al and Velma Rey. Gwen will also be dearly missed by her brother Randy (Heather), sisters-in-law, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Visitation House, 900 11th Avenue, Regina, SK S4N 0K7.
