Send flowers for Gwendolyn Adams Drayton

That angelic voice will be missed my cousin. Rest in peace.

Mrs. Gwendolyn Adams Drayton was the epitome of a charming, elegant, gracious, beautiful Christian lady. We enjoyed wonderful friendship and sweet fellowship with the Draytons during our two decades together at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Our friendship was meaningful for the 25 years we have lived in Dallas. Clarence Drayton was the church administrator and chair of Trustees. Gwen Drayton was a faithful supporter of the music ministry at Fifth Street. The Draytons' presence was always a blessing. She has departed this life and they are together again. She will be sorely missed. We extend our love, prayers and sympathy to her family and the Fifth Street Baptist Church family.

Condolences to the family and friends of this elegant, kind and loving woman. I met Gwen many years ago, through our common membership in Continental Societies. She was a joy! May the memory of her smile bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.

Mrs. Brenda Dabney Nichols, President Washington Park Civic Association Mrs. Gwendolyn was a wonderful neighbor and friend. As a friend, we chatted regularly, checking on one another, sharing daily and giggling just doing small talk. Both of us were music lovers, so we attended many concerts & evening baptizing services at First Baptist Church --South side. She was appointed by a founder, the late Dr. Roy West & continued to be actively involved in our association as the Program Chairman for over 10+ years presenting informative speakers and forums at our meetings & participating in the National Night Out events. Ms. Gwen was a loving lady of grace, charm, and dignity. We will all miss her so much. Our condolences, thoughts and prayers shall be with the family.

A beautiful soul named "Gwennie Poo" as I called her embodied kindness, grace, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of others. She always saw the best in those around her. Thank you for the love and light that you shared so freely. Rest peacefully, "Gwennie Poo". You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Gwen was a sweet person and always had a smile. It has been a pleasure knowing her and serving with her on the Washington Park Civic Association. I will truly miss our conversations about our dogs. May she rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to family and close friends. I worked with Ms. Drayton at BLC in Hanover Co. many years ago. She was teacher and I was a cottage manager for youth at the facility. I always had admiration for Ms. Dayton. In more recent years she and my mom went to the same hair salon. Whenever we would see each other we would always speak and have kind words to share. I will certainly miss seeing her warm smile and hearing her soft voice. May God provide support to those that were touched by her life. Sincerely, Neil

To the family: My deepest condolences. I remember Gwen as a devoted and kind colleague at J. P. Barrett School for Girls. Louise Walton Virginia Beach, VA

Ms Gwen your soft spoken humble spirit will be missed you showed me love and compassion I appreciated it rest in peace now we'll see you again some day . Theresa Ancarrow

My dear Gwennie has passed, and my heart aches at the loss of someone so special. She was a light in this world—never judging, never speaking ill of anyone, always leading with kindness. Whenever I let a not-so-nice comment slip, she'd just shake her head and say, 'Oh, Allison!'—a gentle reminder to see the good in others, just as she always did. Her grace, wisdom, and warmth shaped me in ways I will forever cherish. Though she's gone, her love and lessons will always stay with me. Rest peacefully, my sweet Gwennie. You were truly one of a kind.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
