Memorial contributions may be made in her name to VNA Hospice or Holy Family Church and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary.
I was very saddened by the news of Gwen’s passing. She was like a mother to me, and took such good care of me after my mom’s death when I was just a teenager. I visited her a couple of times in Eudora and she got to meet my two children. I will always treasure the fun times I had swimming in her pool in Hutchinson. Gwen always loved getting my Christmas cards each year, and even called me one time, when I was late getting them mailed, to see where it was. She will be forever in my heart and I will miss her.

Sincere Sympathy to daughters and son of Gwen Seibel. She was a patient of mine in the doctors office in Hutchinson, a beautiful lady, inside and outside, always concerned about my family, children, and grandchildren, not just herself. She will be missed.
