Gwenivere Wilson Obituary

December 1, 1948 ~ September 18, 2017
Gwenivere Yvonne Burson Wilson, 69, was born December 1, 1948 in Fort Duchesne, Utah, passed away on September 18, 2017. Gwen is the daughter of Robert George Burson and Edith Leroy Shauavangh Burson. Gwen married Dennis Quinn Wilson on August 26, 1967 and later divorced. Our dear Gwennie is a wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt and sister. She cared dearly for her son, Dennis, and her two grandchildren. Gwen is known for her kindest and wanting to give you a Coke or Sprite when you came to visit. Gwen is adored for her quick sense of humor and her most famous words "Good Grief" as she spoke with her hands, which made all of us laugh. Gwen is a loving open individual who helped support her family through their time of need. She was an avid reader and liked her crossword puzzles. Gwen is known to kept dates of birthdays, anniversaries, marriages and others that have passed in our life. Gwen is survived by her son Dennis Darrell Wilson, granddaughter Heidi Lynn Wilson, grandson Justin Lee Wilson, sister Clarice (Cory) Reed, brother Fred Kyle Burson, sister LaFern Leroy Burson, sister Tina Marie Burson and sister Regina June Pectol. She is preceded in death by sister Roberta Madelyn Montoya, brother Dale William Burson, mother Edith Leroy Shauavangh Burson, father Robert George Burson, brother James Emery Burson, brother Leroy Burnett Burson. Gwen's longtime campion Terry Reich passed away two years ago and she missed her best friend. Our family has lost so many of our nieces, nephews and cousins who have passed but they are not forgotten. Per Gwennie's request no service or ceremonies will be held and the family will have a private gathering to honor her.
