Obituary of LaVon "Gwen" Clements-Bollinger

April 14, 1961 to January 20, 2017 Our dear sweet Momma, Nan, Honey-Honey, and friend Gwen passed away Friday, January 20, 2017 surrounded by her loving family after her long courageous fight with multiple myeloma. Gwen was born in Salt Lake City, UT April 14, 1961 to William P. Clements and Darlene Jones Clements. She was raised in Magna, UT where she graduated from Cyprus High School and met many lifelong friends. Gwen married Douglas Richards and they had 3 children, Andrie Shae, Shawnie Linn and Zackory Scott. Later they divorced. Gwen was very spirited and loved going on her nature adventures. She loved hiking, mountain biking, traveling and anything outdoors. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandkids, Aden, Jocelyn, McKinley, McKaylia, Aloura, Kendal, Koden, Presley and Charley and one on the way next month. Her life was finally complete when she met her soulmate and the love of her life, her adoring husband Keith Bollinger. He and his daughter Shannan completed our family. Even though their time together was short, their love for one another kept Gwen fighting and here with us longer, he was her Angel in disguise. They joined forces to complete Nan’s mission in life; to love and care for her family with commitment and compassion. She will be remembered by all who knew her for her love of family, spirit of adventure and her fearless strength to fight and live as long as possible. Gwen is survived by her husband Keith, children: Andrie (Melissa), Shawnie (Robert), Zackory (Angie) and Shannan. Her cherished grandchildren, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, February 10, 2017 at Camp W.G.
