Councillor Phil Bateman said “We paid our respects to a very forceful former City Councillor who had strong links with Wednesfield. Gwen would have been pleased to see the Parish Church of Wolverhampton so full, with people who knew her over all the years. Gwen was involved in a multitude of sectors, not just content to play a role, she played a leading role in many.
Now dear colleague is the time to ‘Rest in Peace’ because you have made more than just a little contribution to this City, its growth, its prosperity, its development, and its community cohesiveness. Others are already following in your footsteps, they have had a fine role model to learn from.”
