Gwendolynn Kay ‘Gwen’ Gall, 78, of Fremont died Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at Methodist Fremont Health.
Gwendolynn Kay Hornback was born Feb. 10, 1945, to Earl and Fern Hornback. They brought her home to join her sister Karen and brother Shelton on a farm outside of Spencer in Boyd County. She was raised in a good Christian home and attended a country school. Later, she would venture into Spencer and live with her grandma Mary Etta Hornback and attend high school there. Gwen loved the social aspects of being in town. She graduated high school in 1963 and moved to Columbus to live with her sister Karen’s family and work at Dale Electronics.
Norman and Gwen met in Fremont in the spring of 1967 and were married that August in Spencer. They lived in Fremont where they bought their first home and enjoyed several fun hobbies over the years like waterskiing, air boating, and car racing. They welcomed their first daughter Shannon in October of 1970 and their second daughter Danielle in 1976. Gwen and Norm were self-employed for 32 ½ years and retired in 2014.
Norm enjoys gardening and Gwen loved canning all the bountiful harvests from their garden. Gwen was a great cook and food was always plentiful in the Gall household. She enjoyed having people over for meals and fellowship, everyone was always welcome at Gwen & Norm’s home.
They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2017 after Gwen had triple bypass surgery. Gwen has suffered from multiple health issues over the past several years. We will miss her so much, but we are grateful she is no longer suffering here on earth and is in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
