WALL, Gwen
On Monday, December 18, 2017, Gwen Wall (Kaufman), beloved wife and mother passed away peacefully at 91 years of age. Gwen is survived by her children Vanda Wall of Toronto, ON, Dane (Ellen) Wall of Los Altos, CA, and Chan (Thanh) Nguyen of Ottawa, ON; grandchildren Andrew and Alexander Wall of Los Altos, CA, and Jared and Justin Nguyen of Ottawa, ON, extended family Anne "Auntie" Wittal and Gerry and Leslie Perreaux; and many nieces, nephews and close friends. She was predeceased by her husband Albert; parents Milton and Emma Kaufman; brothers Boyd and Donal, and sister Maureen Brown. She was born in Tavistock, Ontario on January 24, 1926 and was raised on a dairy farm. Gwen moved to Saskatchewan after she married Al. She loved to garden and built a business as a seamstress making specially tailored clothes for clients and friends. In her younger years she loved painting landscapes and even received recognition from the National Art Gallery of Canada. Thanks to the staff at Wintergreene Estates for the care and kindness shown to Gwen and to everyone who gave her rides to church, doctor/ dentist appointments etc., especially to Gerry and Leslie Perreaux who went above and beyond the call of duty, treating Gwen like family making it so much easier for Vanda and Dane to live so far from home.

Family is sharing wonderful memories. Earl had worked on the farm for Gwen's father back in the late 40's or very early 50's, the ladies (Em, Gwen, and Maureen) of the house always spoilt him as he was just in his teens those days. He has great memories of those times. and many in later years as well, In 1975 we spent a couple of days with Gwen and Al on our way to the west coast. They were just great people. She was a wonderful lady.

We will miss you

Aunt Gwen was the best of her time. An Aunt who took the task of being a very special Aunt/God parent and influence to the children of her extended family very seriously. Treasured memories of her and Uncle Al.

Aunt Gwen was thoughtful and generous of spirit; I remember an often sent box that she mailed to Mom; candies, clothing for our whole family, and sometimes her intricately sewn Barbie doll clothes were in these heartfelt parcels.
I enjoyed and respected her artistic nature, her kindness and easy laughter.
I will miss her always.
