Gwendolyn Vacca Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Gwen is preceded in death by her mother, Linda Shain.
Throughout her life, Gwen exhibited a great appreciation for the beauty of nature, particularly reflected in her love of gardening and watching hummingbirds. A creative soul, Gwen also found joy in crafting, bringing beauty into the world. But perhaps Gwen's greatest joy came from the laughter shared with her family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask for donations made to the family at time of service.
Memorial visitation will be from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm at Ferrari Funeral Services on Saturday November 1, 2025.
Family and friends are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.ferrarifuneral.com
