Gwendolyn Strelecki Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 22, 2024.
Gwendolyn Strelecki was born in Chicago, Illinois on February 16th, 1940 to parents Elizabeth & Lester Kresher, Sister to Butch. She died peacefully at the age of 84 at PeaceHealth hospital in Vancouver where she lived for the past 55 years. Gwen & Clem were married for 61 years, our one comfort is knowing they are together again. She is survived by her sons Craig & Patrick, Grandson Kyle, & Daughter's in law Susan & Angie.Gwen will be remembered as a kind and loving Mom, Wife, Grandma, Sister, Aunt, Friend, and devoted Christian. She always provided support and love for her family, friends and church. She did this not out of obligation but because of who she was. Gwen enjoyed being a Church secretary and working with children in the Evergreen school district. She loved to laugh and always had a smile on her face. God & Family were most important to her and we cherished every moment we spent together. Words cannot describe how much we loved her. We have lost an Angel on earth. Rest in Peace Mom, we will all miss you.
