Mrs. Gwinn was a member of Chesapeake United Methodist Church where she was actively involved for over 45 years. "Granny," as many knew her, faithfully shared Christ with family and friends through her love and service. Helen was a devoted wife, a caring mother and a proud grandmother. The lives she influenced will reap eternal benefits. Helen will be sorely missed by the family she treasured, but we sorrow not as others who have no hope.
