Gwendolyn Sue Koch, 73, of Sinking Spring, passed away on Monday, Jan. 21, 2019, at home.
She was born in Ephrata to the late Samuel and Miriam (Dubbs) Powell.
She graduated from Wilson High School in 1963. She received her cosmetology license in 1970 and was a hairdresser for many years. She enjoyed shopping at thrift stores, spending time with friends and family and decorating for holidays. Her compassion and friendship will be missed by many people.
