Gwen (Gwenie) Gayle Hurst returned to her heavenly home peacefully on March 5, 2019. She was born in Sutton, to Ruby and Gayle McLaughlin on May 15, 1941, and was adored by her siblings Betty, Jeanene, and Billy.
Gwen graduated from St. Elizabeth’s nursing college and married her high school sweetheart Tom Hurst, while he was in dental school. They moved to San Diego in 1962 and were blessed with four children, Bill, Steve, Dave, and Kristen. Gwen devoted her life to loving people and praying with anyone in need while sharing her midwestern culture and values.
She focused on doing God’s everlasting kingdom work! Gwen lead a bible study for 27 years and her gift of loving, encouraging, and pointing others to the Lord Jesus has left a beautiful legacy that spreads far, deep, and wide. She was a long time devoted member of the Clairemont Christian Fellowship where she served in the healing ministry.
Gwen joined her son, Billy, in heaven and is survived by her husband, Tom, her three children, in-laws Bridget, Shelli, and Randy and nine grandchildren. Gwen has been dearly missed and we look forward to reuniting with her in the presence of our faithful Lord.
