Gwen Praeger of Nashville, Tennessee, passed away August 22, at the age of 73.
Gwen was born in San Antonio, Texas, to Herman Albert Praeger and Joyce Praeger (nee Dunnica). Her father’s position in the U.S. Army took the family to many states and abroad.

She began her professional career as a medical lab technician for a private laboratory in Houston, Texas, before moving to Nashville where she worked for the Veteran’s Affairs hospital until her retirement.
An avid equestrian, Gwen enjoyed riding and caring for her horses. She traveled extensively, documenting her adventures through another interest of hers, photography.
Gwen is survived by numerous family and friends who will always remember her vibrant spirit and animated laugh.
Private memorial services will be held at future dates in Kansas and Tennessee. Her ashes will be interred at Rose Hill Cemetery outside Claflin, Kansas. The family is grateful for condolences, but respectfully declines flowers and donations.

My husband and I would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Gwen. Although we hadn’t had the opportunity to meet Gwen personally we wanted to share with you comfort we had experienced from Gods word found in John 5:28,29. I especially love the resurrection account of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth back to the arms of those he loved, this was a miracle, a example of what is to come. How wonderful knowing that we too will experience such joy. Remember also that our Heavenly Father is always there for the broken hearted and those crushed spirit ( Psalm 34:18) Please take a few moments to share your memories with those who surround you, for the memories shared are the ones most truly cherished, may they bring you comfort and peace as you begin to heal. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.
