Gwendolyn Irene Cowley's Obituary
Gwendolyn Irene Cowley, 85, was born on September 20, 1938 in San Benito, Texas and was called home to be with the Lord on February 20, 2024 at her residence in Houston, Texas while surrounded by her loving family.
Gwendolyn was a woman who embraced life with zest. She found joy in the simple pleasures:
The delicate scent of yellow roses.
The warmth of the Texas sun on her face.
The laughter of loved ones gathered around the dinner table.
Her spirit was as vibrant as the lipstick she never left the house without—a bold shade that matched her vivacity.
The Best Peanut Brittle
Gwendolyn was known for her culinary talents. Her peanut brittle was legendary—crunchy, sweet, and utterly irresistible. Friends and family would eagerly await each batch, savoring the delightful combination of flavors. It was, without a doubt, the best peanut brittle anyone had ever tasted.
