Gwen said, God. “Put your trust in him and pray for him have a good heart for people,” Hutchinson said. Gwen’s loved ones made it clear she has a huge heart. Ginger Petruzzelli, Gwen’s friend said, “she’s a wonderful person. Caring, giving, and will give you the shirt off her back.” Yvette Maitland-Vargas, Gwen’s niece said she’s a very loving person and has a lot of friends. Her memory is amazing. Something she reminisces on often is being a nurse. Gwen came to America from Jamaica in the mid-60s because of a nursing shortage. They were supposed to be recruiting girls from Jamaica because American girls wouldn’t work, so they recruited girls from Jamaica to work here,” Hutchinson said. Gwen said her future includes making more memories and gearing up for her 108th birthday. Gwen told WINK News her secret to keep on moving and grooving at 107 years old is to soak her feet in epson salt and vinegar.
