Gwendolyn M. Hayes ’61 AM

Gwendolyn M. Hayes ’61 AM, of Arlington, Va.; Oct. 8, after she was struck by a car while in a pedestrian crosswalk. A talented craftsperson, she created a successful small business selling her handmade items locally in the mid-1970s and 1980s and was employed as a substitute librarian for Arlington Public Schools from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s. Her interest in her family genealogy led her to compile, edit, and publish for family members Memories from My Crystal Ball and Letters from Abroad, the memoirs of her great-grandmother. She enjoyed spending time in her second home in the mountain town of Banner Elk (N.C.), and annual visits to Cape Cod. She was an avid walker and enjoyed  yoga and gardening. She is survived by her husband, David; a daughter and son-in-law; two sons; a daughter-in-law; and a granddaughter.
