Marian Marie Gwin

She was a proud Nebraska farm girl born September 8, 1922 in Beaver City, Nebraska to Erwin Brooks & Gertrude Emily Kentfield.

Marian is survived by her sister, Helen Weaver of Samford, Nebraska; daughter, Dianne (Pete) Petersen; two grandsons, John & Darrin Petersen; daughter-in-law, Ruth Gwin; step-grandchildren, Joel Lunsford & Jessie (John) Hancox; three step-great grandchildren, Bailey, Jesse and Charlie; sisters-in-law, Ina Gwin, Sharon Gwin and Bernice Gwin; brother-in-law, Floyd Adler along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was also proud to have her three “adopted daughters” Janice Rademacher, Renie Schell and Beverly Biddle. Marian was preceded in death by her husband, Don Gwin & her son, Dave Gwin.

Marian not only had a loving passion for her family, but also for others.

One of her proudest achievements was her volunteer work at Longmont United Hospital. She devoted 14 years and almost 14, 000 hours arriving by 5:30 a.m. and working 8-10 hours three to four days a week. She loved the doctors and nurses and all the people she met along her journey.

She felt special when she was asked to throw out the 1st shovel of dirt for the ground breaking of the New Day Surgery wing in 1984.

Contributions may be made to Meals on Wheels or the Longmont United Hospital Foundation in care of volunteers.
