    Notes:

    Gwendolyn (Grimes) Chapman passed away peacefully on Aug. 26, 2015, at Apple Rehab in Mystic. The daughter of Arthur R. And Cornelia (Avery) Grimes, she would have celebrated her 90th birthday in September.
    A graduate of Williams Memorial Institute, Gwen worked as a secretary and later for her cousins at Hewitt Woodcrafters in Old Mystic for more than 20 years. She enjoyed co-workers and customers alike. She next worked for Marlborough Country Barn and then Sturbridge Yankee Workshop until her retirement.
    Gwen married Harold S. Chapman on April 7, 1945. He passed away in February 2001. Together they enjoyed area as well as high school sports events. Until recently, she continued to follow the Red Sox, the Patriots, and both the men's and women's UConn basketball teams. Always a lover of a challenging jigsaw puzzle, she also enjoyed a good romantic novel.
    A talented knitter, her family enjoyed their handmade sweaters and shared them lovingly when outgrown. Gwen was especially proud of her baby booties. A family friend once referred to them as "astronaut boots". She made hundreds of pairs over the years. Her father-in-law, Giles Chapman, made sure each new baby on his milk route received a pair.
    Gwen will be missed by her daughter, Gwen Ann Joseph and husband, Richard, of Mystic; her beloved granddaughter and great-granddaughter, Michelle and Payton Edwards of Ledyard; her sister, Marilyn "Muggs" Bufkin of New Mexico; her brother, Prentis Grimes of Waterford; and several nieces and nephews and cousins so very special to her.
    She was also predeceased by her sister, Beverly Kelly.
    Thanks to the caring staff at Apple for their care and concerns for her.
    There are no services per her request. Interment will be private.
    Byles-Groton Memorial Home is assisting the family.
