Gun was born in Stockholm, Sweden on March 27, 1925 and moved to Canada in 1954 with her husband, Bjorn and two small children.
Gun was the ultimate stay-at-home Mom and completely devoted to her family. She made everything look easy - from hosting formal business dinners to whipping up amazing Halloween and figure skating costumes. She was creative, accomplished and clever - a whiz at math and an excellent bridge and chess player.
She loved animals, nature and the outdoors. She was happiest at her beloved cottage in Haliburton where she would take her two swims a day wearing her flowered bathing cap and paddle her canoe in the summer. In the winter, she thought nothing of spending two weeks at the cottage over Christmas break with no running water. How she loved to cross country ski across the frozen lake with the sun shining down from a bright blue sky.
She had a passionate love for her art and her painting and was always most comfortable in her old blue jeans and painting shirt.
Gun is predeceased by her husband, Bjorn in 2003 and son, Ulf in 2006. She will be lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Monika Preston (John) of Palm Beach and Barbara Gaic of Aurora. Forever adored by her three grandchildren Steve and Jeff Preston and Megan Gaic and five special great grandchildren on the Preston side.
At the family's request, no service will be held.
