Gwendolyn Thatcher

Gwen, age 29 passed away July 16, 2016.

She was born March 9, 1987, and graduated from Mogadore High School. While having troubled times in recent years, those times do not define the person we knew, raised, and loved.  Our beautiful red haired daughter and granddaughter was intelligent, creative, had a great sense of humor, and a personality and physical presence to which people were drawn.

Her legacy to us are memories of her during the good times and her beautiful daughter, Gabriella Marie.

Besides Gabriella, she is survived by her mother and stepfather, Kristi and Ron Harold of Mogadore; her grandfather, Joe Thatcher (Juanita Weaver) of Tallmadge, who was with her through good times and bad; grandmother, Laura Neal (James) of Georgia; aunts, Adrianne Thatcher Watson (Eric Watson) of Kansas, and Tobey Thatcher of Arizona; cousins, Johnathan Padgett and Lauren Bain of Kansas.

Cremation has taken place, and a private gathering will be held at the family's convenience.
