She is also survived by five sisters Beulah Steen, Evelyn Williams, Ola Mae Alexander, Bernice Ellison, Toni Wright and one brother, James Wright.

Gwen was a true Dallas Cowboys fan and enjoyed watching all sports on TV. What she enjoyed most in life was bragging about her granddaughters, Melissa and Aja. She was very special and will be missed by all. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 2: 00 pm at Thompson’s Valley West Funeral Chapel located at 926 S.
