OBITUARY
Saturday morning, October 28, 2006 marked the end of an
earthly sojourn for Gwendolyn D. Culpepper. She was born on
March 9, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York, the first child of Alberta and
Barrington Ewan.

Her Brooklyn education included Elementary School No. 9,
Erasmus High School and Brooklyn College where she excelled at
basketball and fencing.

Gwen married Ervin A. Culpepper and had two children,
Kaaren and Barry, before entering the working field. She worked at
Kings County Hospital before joining the Department of Social
Service. She retired from Social Service in 1988.

Gwendolyn belonged to St. Michael and St. Marks Episcopal
Church and later Calvary & St. Cyprian’s. Gwen was also a member
of the Business and Professional Women of New York and a friend
of both the East New York and New Lots Lions. A staunch
supporter of the Brooklyn Old Timers and Correction Guardians,
you could find her smiling and dancing the night away.

Gwendolyn never complained during her long illness. She
loved the many calls, visits, gifts and cards. Her face would light up
when someone sent a kiss by her daughter.

Gwen loved people, traveling and socializing with her friends
and family. She enjoyed meeting and talking to new people.

She leaves to mourn her memory, her daughter Kaaren; her
son, Barry; her grandson, Kamal; a sister-in-law, Jean Ewan; her
special friend, Charles Coombs; many nieces, nephews and friends.1
