Sandra Gwin Obituary
May 10, 1940 - March 15, 2025
Sandra (Adams) Gwin, 84, of Montrose, CO, passed away on March 15, 2025. She was born in Montrose May 10, 1940 to Montrose Daily Press Publisher, Charles E. Adams, Jr. and Alma L. (Thornton) Adams.
Sandra's early years were spent moving around the country but as a teenager she moved back to Montrose, where her dad opened Adams Office Supply. It was in Montrose at the age of 14 where she met Chuck Gwin, the love of her life and future husband of 62 years. Sandra was a graduate of Montrose High School and attended one year of college at Augustana College in Illinois. She returned to Montrose to marry Chuck and together they raised 4 children.
Sandra loved to travel, especially to places with historical significance and she was proud to have had three ancestors sign the Declaration Of Independence.

She is survived by her sons, Mark Gwin (Liz) of Gering, NE, Gary Gwin (Alisa) of Cheyenne, WY, her daughter Kathy Erickson (Eric) of Montrose, 11 grandchildren, 11 great grand children, numerous nieces and nephews and a number of close friends.
