Gwendolyn, affectionately nicknamed, "Momma Gwen", was born on February 28, 1952, in Bartow, Florida, to Harvey and Eva Griffin.

Her favorite activities were fishing and cooking. If you were looking for Gwen, you would find her fishing or sitting on her porch with a cold one. She was an active member of her community and helped anyone in need. Gwen was the life of the party, and her door was always open. She loved her grandchildren and hosted many parties. She was known to be outspoken and told you like it was. She never let a phone call go by without telling you "I love you more!"

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey, and Eva Griffin; granddaughters, "The Twins" Tahliyah and Aaliyah Bryant; siblings, Jewel Mae Easters, Harvey Griffin, Jr., Alphonso Griffin, Vera Griffin, Magnolia Griffin, Alfred Lee Griffin, Charles Griffin; and niece, Stephanie Greer.

She leaves precious memories with her spouse, Louis Bryant; children, Louis Bryant, Jr. (Thaisha), Marco Bryant (Rosa), Monquriest Williams, and Rosette Mathis (Darrell); step-son, Tony Bryant; grandchildren, Louis, Malique, Thais, Rafael, Marcel, Miabella, Teety, John, Michael, Marco L, Marco D, Jaquan, Dorian, Darranique, and Darreyonna; great-grandchildren, Jomarion, Janasia, and Jonse; brother, Issac Griffin; sister, Brenda Griffin; sisters-in-law, Joann, and Charlene; brother-in-law, Buckskin; friends, Tennessee, Danny, Gloria, Brenda, Ruby, Pickle, Brown, Shoeshine, Donovan, Kelly, and Rick; and a host of other loving relatives, cousins, and friends.
