Gwen was born June 19, 1933 in Elsinore, Utah to Emeron and Kathleen Christensen. She married William Newell Bryan on November 23, 1957 in Elsinore, Utah. She was a member of the LDS church, and loved serving her neighbors, friends and family. Gwen attended South Sevier High School and Snow College.

Our family expresses sincere gratitude to the staff at both IMC Hospital and Aspen Ridge Transitional Rehab.
