Gwen was a loving mother to her two children and Meme to her five grandchildren. She loved shopping and shopping for others. She always led with unselfishness and heart with everything she did. She made sure that we all were spoiled beyond belief. She never missed a chance to talk about the Razorbacks and what she felt about the sports programs. She never held her opinions back on that subject. She always looked forward to her snacks and diet coke. She was loved by so many and will be truly missed until we are all reunited with her again. She is preceded in death by her husband, William Boyd "Bill" Baskin; her parents, her brother, Ron Prewitt. Survivors include one son, Scott Baskin and wife Amy of Oklahoma; one daughter, Jaime Gordon and husband Frank Gordon, II of Centerton; five grandchildren, Holly Baskin, Brandon Baskin, Noah Baskin, Kingston Gordon and Aaliyah Gordon.
