ROBERTA GWINNER

Posted: March 15th, 2021

June 17, 1952 – March 7, 2021

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Roberta Gwinner on March 7, 2021 from COVID-19 at the age of 67.

Originally from Medicine Hat, Roberta spent her recent years in Edmonton. Roberta was predeceased by her parents Robert and Freda Gwinner and her sisters Lillian Fisher and Rosemary Baumback. She is survived by her siblings Peter Gwinner, Julie Munro, Dan Gwinner, and their families. At Roberta’s request, there will be no formal service.

A quiet family memorial will be held once public health restrictions are lifted. The family wishes to thank Dr. Sprague and the staff at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital in Edmonton for the compassionate care shown to Roberta in her final days. Those wishing to pay their respects to Roberta may do so with a donation to the Alberta Cancer

Foundation, a charity she generously supported until the time of her passing.

    I remember the late sixties and pajama parties on Friday night in Rosy and Roberta’s bedroom with Jean and Julie across the hall singing to Gene Pitney and the Beatles on their 45s. We had so much fun comparing who’s who in the Teen Beat magazines and dancing around the room wearing our baby dolls. I thought Lillian was a model and it was so cool that Julie was in the Sally Ann Marching band. On Sundays I attended church services there with Mrs Gwinner wearing her red surge uniform playing a horn in the band circle. And the Sunday family dinners were so memorable. They were my second family. Roberta was so much fun to hang out with. What awesome memories!
