Education Fund for Gretchen's Kids

Gretchen Guenther passed away Subday January 10th after being in a car accident.  She leaves behind 6  children.  The Guenther Family from Reading MA wants to make sure these kids get a college education.  All monies  collected will go towards education.   For the younger kids for whom college is far off the money will be held in an account managed by Christine and Victoria until it comes time to apply for college.  Please see Gretchen's obituary below for more information about her wonderful family.  

Gretchen was the devoted mother to six wonderful and beautiful children; Hannah her hard working oldest and mother to Jackson; Michael, her son in the Navy; Mark, her Dean’s list college boy; Abi, her quiet student athlete; Cody, the thoughtful one who plays trumpet and her carbon copy and dog whisperer, Izzy. She was also Nonn to her bright and energetic Jackson.
Gretchen believed in standing on her own two feet and was raised with a strong work ethic. She was most recently employed by Panera Bread in Seabrook NH. It was a job she truly enjoyed even if it sometimes left her exhausted at the end of the day. Gretchen liked to spend time with her friends either out or by an outside fire, and take walks with her devoted dog, Sophie. Gretchen loved her music and she loved it loud. Out at a show or home in the kitchen singing as she danced, all the while with a smile. Her strongest love, however, was for the time spent with her kids. Whether it was cuddled up watching a movie with her youngest ones or playing board games even if she secretly didn’t like them. Her children were the reason she got up every day even those days that hurt the most. It was all for them.
Gretchen was the devoted mother of Hannah P. Theberge and her significant other Bill Blaney of Danville NH, Michael W.E. Theberge, US Navy Submarine Service, Charleston SC, Mark E. Theberge, Abi Theberge, Cody J. Merrill and Izzy F. Merrill all of Salisbury. Loving grandmother of Jackson Blaney.
