Auburn – Gwendolyn Ilene Shambaugh, 97, was called home to be with her Lord on April 1, 2026.
Gwen, known as Punky to her brothers and sisters, was born to Ora and Pearley (Reed) Shambaugh on May 31, 1928.
Gwen will be remembered by many for her giving heart and compassion for helping others. She asked for so little, but gave so much.
“Her children shall rise up and call her blessed” proverbs 31:28
