She later married William Reinke on May 1, 1963; William preceded her in death in January 1998.

      Gwen was a born again Christian, as faith was an important part of Gwen's journey through life. She enjoyed raising her family on their dairy farm in Darboy. Gwen retired from Manderfield's Bakery after working as a decorator for over 20 years. Gwen loved playing games, especially bingo, and watching the Packers with her family and friends. Her greatest love was time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

      Gwen will be dearly missed by her 12 children: Donna Lettier, Dave (Kaye), Dan (Sharon), Diane Campbell, Debra (Dan) Vandenberg, Dennis (Terri), Doris (Steve) Hagglund, Dawn (Tom) Paiser, Doreen (Scott) Janssen, Luann (Gary) Van Beek, Steve (Beckie), and William III (Traci); 21 grandchildren: Ryan, Corrine, Lisa, Laura, David Jr., Marissa, Luke, Amanda, Angela, Jesse, Tanya, Daniel, Dana, Jennifer, Paul, Jacob, Megan, Jason, Cole, Aubrey, and Ellianna; 12 great grandchildren; sister, Lynn (Jerome) Uitenbroek; and a brother, Homer (Marie) Meehl. Waiting for Gwen in Heaven are her parents; daughter, Kay; son, Mark; grandson, Michael Campbell; step mother, Evelyn; two brothers: Owen and Tom Meehl; and many other relatives and friends.
