Gwen Hauck, 94

Gwen Hauck, 94, passed away peacefully Aug. 12, 2026, in Coeur d’Alene, leaving behind a lifetime of love, compassion and memories that will be treasured by her family.

She was born in Bromhead, Saskatchewan, and spent early years in North Dakota before eventually making her home in North Idaho.

Gwen was a quiet and thoughtful woman who cared deeply about the people around her. She spent much of her life caring for others. Alongside her husband, she owned and operated a dairy farm for many years. Farm life brought long days and plenty of hard work, but it was also a place where family, dedication and perseverance were woven into everyday life.

She had a gentle way of showing her love. She didn’t need to be the loudest person in the room to make an impact. Her quiet strength, kindness and thoughtfulness touched the lives of those around her.

Gwen is survived by her brother, Larry Rude; daughter Coleen, and son Ron. She also leaves behind her grandchildren: Ryan, Taylor, Dylan, Derek and Chelsea; five great-grandchildren, who brought another generation of love and joy into her life. She was preceded in death by her husband, Pat; son Jerry; parents; and three brothers and a sister. 

Gwen leaves behind a legacy built through the work of her hands, the care she gave others and, most importantly, the family she loved so deeply. She will be remembered for her gentle heart, quiet strength and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, at Dalton Gardens Church of Christ, 6439 N. Fourth St., Dalton Gardens, ID 83815. Please join the family for a lunch following the service.

She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and forever remain part of the family she cherished so much.
