After her years in the skies, Gwynda transitioned to a successful career in real estate, where she became a respected agent with Mock Realty in the 1980s. Her intelligence and loving nature made her a trusted advisor to many families as they navigated the important journey of finding their homes.

A devout and active member of Paran Baptist Church, Gwynda's faith was a cornerstone of her life.
