Born December 6, 1947, Gwynn was the daughter of George H. Searle. She was raised by her father and grandmother alongside her two brothers Wayne and Ryan and her sister Tessie. She was deeply proud of her British heritage and spoke fondly of the experience she encountered while in England. Gwynn attended Skyline High School and graduated with the class of 1966 of Granite High School.

In 1968, Gwynn married the love of her life Steve Lovelady. They were married at St. Paul’s Episcopal church on July 20th. Together they welcomed 4 children Summer, Monty, Jarrod and Sicily.

Gwynn found her calling caring for many families as a registered nurse, graduating from Westminster College with a Bachelor of Science in nursing. Most of her career was spent at Shriners Hospital where she later retired from. She touched countless lives through her compassion, strength and unwavering commitment to helping others.

Above all else, Gwynn loved her family. She is survived by her loving husband Steve Lovelady, her children Monty (Lisa) Lovelady, Jarrod (Heidi) Lovelady, Sicily (Matt) Williams, her brother Ryan (Trudy) Searle, sister Tessie (Sier) VanKomen, and her grandchildren Daiquirri (Alex) Street, Spencer Street, Hannah (Tanner) Hall, Finley and Maxwel Lovelady, her life long best friends Ray and Anette Jones. She is also survived by her loyal and cherished dog Sir Watson.

Gwynn will be reunited with those preceding her. Her father George H. Searle, brother Wayne Searle, daughter Summer Lovelady-Meagher and her beloved dog Sherlock.

Gwynneth had a deep love for her family, friends, rodeos, bull riding, westerns and her dogs. She lived boldly, loved fiercely and leaves behind a legacy of resilience, service and unforgettable stories that will be shared for generations.

A celebration of life for Gwynneth will be on Saturday, February 7th from 4-6 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 S 900 E, Salt Lake City. Guests are encouraged to park and enter on the north side of the building.

In Loving Memory

Aunt GG, you will be so, so missed! I'll never forget a Thanksgiving when I was visiting my dad. You, graciously, made a place at your table for us, and it has always been one of my fondest memories, and one of the reasons why Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday. Even hundreds of miles and many years away, I always felt your love, and I hope you knew how much I loved you. Always.

Gwynn and I go back to high school. Then my husband Ron was Steve's brother Kent's friend. We were in the Mustang club with Gwynn and Steve. She was always so friendly and nice

I am so sorry for the loss of Guyanese. She was always so loving and kind and such an amazing soul to be around. I will cherish the many memories of her and the Joneses together as family.
