Honeoye: Gwen passed away, at the age of 73. She was predeceased by her parents William and Audrey Fisher. Survived by her husband Robert Stark, sister Gail (Andrew) Clemens, brother William Fisher, sister-in-law Linda Lewis, nephews Christopher and Joe Clemens, Jeffrey and Michael (Marina) Stark, and niece Alexa Fisher.
Gwen and Bob loved to travel around the country in their motor home after she retired, with their beloved dog Sandy, who passed away last year. She and Bob filled the void with the passing of Sandy, adopting Brody, which she adored.
She was a huge fan of the Buffalo Bills, always looking forward to watching them play each week.
Gwen retired from Strong Hospital, as a secretary in the lab, working her way up, starting in the mailroom of the hospital. She made many friends while working in the lab, many of those were medical students from Taiwan who even to this day would stay in touch with her.

To Bob, Gail, and Gwen’s family:
We are deeply saddened by the news of Gwen’s passing. Her vibrant laughter and story sharing will be greatly missed. Gwen had met Joshua a few times at the University of Rochester when he was just a young boy. In honor of her memory, we would like to share Joshua’s violin performance of Gluck’s arrangement by Kreisler: Mélodie, Dance of the Blessed Spirits.
This piece portrays the poignant melody of Orpheus, the legendary musician from Greek mythology who ventured to the underworld to plead for the return of his beloved wife, Euridice.

While we may wish we could do more, we find solace in believing that Gwen is watching over us from above, smiling down upon us.
With heartfelt sympathies,
Jeff, Yaling, and Joshua
Gwen was such a nice and kind-hearted person. May she rest in peace.
RIP
