Gwen Sloan

Gwen Strate Sloan, 96, peacefully returned home to our Heavenly Father on the morning of Dec. 17, 2022. She was born in Cardston, Alberta, Canada on May 12, 1926, to Alfred and Mabel Strate. She is preceded in death by her husband Hugh C. Sloan, her parents, her two brothers and one grandson. She is survived by her three children Greg (Irene) Sloan, Julie (Ken) Ewell and Holly (Brian) Hendrickson; nine beautiful grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandson. Gwen moved to Edmonton, Alberta when she was very young and then to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. After living there several years, the family moved back to Cardston, Alberta and that is where she met the love of her life, Hugh C. Sloan. They were married on July 25, 1946, in the Cardston, Alberta Temple. They moved to the States after a couple of years of marriage and settled in Othello, Washington. They lived there for many years and Gwen’s home was always welcoming to everyone. She loved to entertain and have friends over for meals.
