Gwen Marie Beebout
March 22, 1952 — November 16, 2008
Gwen M. Beebout, age 56, of Milroy, passed away at her residence on Sunday, November 16, 2008 after a 5 ½ year battle with cancer. She was surrounded by those who loved her. Funeral Services are scheduled for 1:00 PM on Friday, November 21, 2008 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Milory. Burial will be in Our Savior’s Lutheran Cemetery in Milroy. Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 PM with a prayer service at 7:00 PM on Thursday, November 20 at the Hamilton Funeral Home in Marshall. Online condolences may be submitted at www.hamiltonfh.com.
Gwen Marie Gilb was born on March 22, 1952, to Merlin “Butch” and Joyce (Danielowski) Gilb in Marshall, Minnesota. She graduated from Milroy high school in 1970. She then attended the medical secretary program at Granite Falls Technical College.
On December 2, 1972, she married the love of her life, Ronald Lee Beebout at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Milroy. The couple was blessed with two beautiful children, Toni and Brooks. Ron and Gwen lived in the Minneapolis area, Glencoe, Waconia, and Marshall before returning to live near Milroy where they were closer to many family and friends. Gwen worked as a city clerk for Milroy and was a state employee for twenty years. She also worked at SMSU as an administrative assistant from 1985 until 2005. Gwen’s life work, however, really was being a mom, wife, and friend.
Gwen had a sense of style and spunk that made her unique. She would never be caught without the perfect hair, makeup, nails, outfit, jewelry, and SHOES! She was quick to laugh and even quicker to give hugs and her love. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel special; a real gift to all of us. Her bright smile and love of life will forever be missed.
Gwen loved to cruise in her car and listen to her favorite music. She loved meeting friends and she was always the life of the party. She was always off to meet someone or do something, even when she was feeling ill. Her gracious and patient manner made her an instant friend. Her love, compassion, and care made acquaintances into life-long friends.
Gwen is survived by her loving husband, Ron Beebout of Milroy; daughter, Toni (and Mark) Bladholm of Marshall; grandchildren, Alexandra and Jackson Bladholm of Marshall; sisters, Gail (and Duane) Anderson of Marshall and Geri Gilb of Minneapolis; brother, Greg (and Darla) Gilb of Lamberton; and countless family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her son, Brooks Ronald Beebout and parents, Butch and Joyce Gilb.
Her ‘sparkle’ will be missed always.
Blessed be the memory of Gwen Beebout.
