She received her BA degree with a major in psychology from Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, OH. She began her theraputic recreation career with the American Red Cross, stationed at Madigan General Hospital (now Madigan Army Medical Center) in 1962. From 1967-1968, she served with the American Red Cross at the 12th Evacuation Hospital, Cu Chi, Vietnam, while her Air Force husband, Gary Turbyfield, was stationed in Labrador. Following her husband from base to base when authorized, Gwen pursued her recreation therapy career field whenever she could. When Gary retired in 1980, they moved to their home of choice near Tacoma, WA. Within a year, Gary died.
Gwen says, "Currently, I am a 58 year old free-lance writer of poetry, short stories and novels, living on a mini-tree farm in Pierce County of Washington State. I have worked in the theraputic recreation field for ten years, four years in nursing homes. Such experiences let me realistically portray life in a nursing home such as fictional TWILIGHT MANOR."vizualizați mai puține
