Gwendolyn Pollick

Gwen's passion was to live a life that would give glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:31. She, for approximately 50 years, was a dedicated member of Mandarin Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL where she spent many of those years teaching a ladies Sunday School class, always sacrificially looking out for and loving others. Gwen's love set the example that modeled Christ to her husband, children, and grandchildren. As a mother, she was always personally involved in her children's school life in extra curricular activities and served as an officer in PTA, Band Parents Association, Home Room mother and as a team parent. Always leading, always volunteering as an integral part of her children's lives. Gwen made many wonderful friends along her journey through Kirby Smith Junior High and Andrew Jackson Senior High and was especially proud that her three children followed the same path.

Gwen was the loving and dedicated wife of Edward Joseph Pollick, who worked very hard to make sure she could always be available for Kingdom work, her children, and especially the marginalized in their community. Together they provided a welcoming, safe, fun and loving home always sacrificing for their three children. Gwen was the "big sister" to her brothers George and Lamar whom she always adored. Gwen's dreams of becoming a grandmother was even sweeter than she expected and additionally she had the blessing of experiencing all the births of her great grandchildren. Her happiest days were being completely together as a family. Gwen's love extended to her children's spouses whom she loved as her own.
