Gwendolyn D. Wilson

Gwendolyn D. Wilson, of Schenectady, 59, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, after a brief illness at Ellis Hospital.  She was the daughter of John Terry, Sr. and Morris Lee Wilson.

She was a graduate of Mont Pleasant High School Class of 1982, where she thrived academically and socially.

Gwennie, as she was affectionately known, was an ebullient, effervescent soul, with a gypsy streak. She would stay awhile in one place then move on without notice then reappear sometime later with her mischievous grin and loud boisterous laugh as if she had never left. Even in the midst of life’s struggles, heartbreaks and setbacks, she always managed to smile and reassure everyone that she was doing fine, even when she wasn’t.

Gwennie enjoyed several careers in her lifetime, enjoying being a surveyor the most because it enabled her to be outdoors. She didn’t seem to like being confined by anything for long. Camping was her favorite pastime. Near the end of her life, Gwennie was a self employed Cleaning Specialist.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Asia and brother Gregory and is survived by her brothers, John Terry, Jr., and Darwin Wilson, both of Schenectady, NY.

A memorial service celebrating the life of Gwendolyn D. Wilson will be announced at a later date.
