The life of Gwendolyn A. Benton, affectionately known as Gwen, began on January 5, 1947, in Millen, Georgia, and gracefully completed its journey on November 8, 2025, surrounded by her devoted family at home. Born to the late Booker Terrell Washington Thomas and Arneva Wiggins Thomas, Gwen's unwavering dedication to excellence, leadership, and education defined a life exceptionally well live.
A woman of deep faith, Gwen was a faithful member of Warren United Methodist Church of over 40 years, serving actively in the choir and the Wesleyans organization. Her bright light shines on through her beloved family: her son, Alvin F. Benton, Jr. (Amber Hall) of Frisco, Texas, and two cherished grandchildren, Harper and Kellen; and her daughter, Natasha Singleton, of Decatur, GA. She also leaves behind a host of loving "special sisters and brothers in love," many nieces, nephews, cousins, countless students and mentees who considered her a second mother. Her quiet strength, enduring wisdom, and infectious smile will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Service Celebrating her life will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. at Warren United Methodist Church 181 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd. SW Atlanta, GA.
