Gwyn Larson, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, became an angel on February 13th, 2023, at age 72. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 53 years, Dave, her children Zack, Chelsea (Brian) Andrews, and Peter, granddaughter Nola, sister Naomi Evans, extended family members, and countless friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Orlen and Herma Berge. Gwyn was born and raised in Windom, Minnesota, and spent the last 46 years enjoying life on the California coast, in Santa Cruz for 43 years, and in Oceanside since 2020.
Gwyn was a beam of light that showed immeasurable compassion, love, and kindness that will continue to inspire all who were lucky enough to know her. Her bright smile and infectious positive energy were truly a gift. She enjoyed volunteering her time and talents to support worthy causes through Soroptimist of Capitola and St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Santa Cruz, and shared her abundant creativity crafting with her granddaughter. She was the most wonderful role model a family could ask for. We will miss her dearly and will remember her always as an inspiration and example to live a full, happy, loving, and faithful life. A celebration of life will be held for her on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at 3:30 PM PT, at Chelsea and Brian’s home, 2039 Rue de la Montagne in Oceanside, Calif. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to Soroptimist International.
