She graduated from Hibbing High School and was a member of First Baptist Church. She graduated with a degree in journalism from Grand View College in Des Moines, Iowa. She worked for the Hibbing Daily Tribune for five years before moving to Portland, Oregon. She worked in a nursery school and was loved by her “kiddos.” She was a board member of Rahab’s Sisters and was active in the fight against human trafficking.
Grace Swanson is her mom, a registered nurse, married for 41 years. I was able to spend the final three weeks with Gwen, to see her on her final journey to heaven's shore, and to see the Lord taking care of my family. Finding and compiling her writings has been a joy and instrumental in helping me with the grieving process.view less
