I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Gwin. I have been to camp Tik-A-Witha many times, and heard so many wonderful things about her. I especially admire her beginning a camp session for children with disabilities . As a troop leader and a mother of children with special needs this was a vital need that she filled. I want to express my condolances to her family. This amazing lady will be missed by so many.

Mrs. Gwin's family, Fourteen years ago my husband and I moved to Starkville after a long career of teaching in Ocean Springs, MS. We walked into FUMC and chose a pew, we were welcomed by an extremely attractive, elegant lady---Mrs. Gwin. Over the full 14 years we shared that pew, an ever growing friendship, time over a cup of coffee, trips to Bible study and treasured phone calls. What a treasure she has been to so many for so many years. I just thank God that He lead us to chose that pew and to be a small part of a life so well lived. May God grant us all the ability to treasure those memories that help dim the pain of our loss and her gain. Love and prayers,

Condolence From Jane Zitta

Elizabeth leaves quite a legacy in our community. Her energy and involvement with so many groups cannot be matched. She will be missed greatly. I knew her reputation and generous giving of self. Personally, I knew her by participating with her in the seniors exercise group at First Presbyterian Church on Mondays and Wednesdays after my retirement. She was a delightful friend. Blessings to all of her family as you grieve her loss and celebrate a life well lived.
