Gwendolyn “Gwen” Favre Barrett, 64, of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones.

A lifelong resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Gwen was born on February 3, 1962, in Gulfport. She was a devoted member of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church and a proud graduate of Our Lady Academy, Class of 1980. Gwen carried her faith with her throughout her life, finding strength and comfort in prayer and in her church community.

Gwen will be remembered for her kind heart, quiet strength, and deep love for her family, especially her beloved daughter Katie Walters and her grandchildren Barrett, Beau and Annie Walters. She had a special gift for making others feel welcome and cared for, and she cherished the time spent with those she loved most. Whether gathered for holidays, family celebrations, or simple moments together, Gwen’s presence brought warmth and joy to those around her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Norma Bradley Favre, her father Lawrence Favre Jr., her sister, Pamela Favre Cure, her maternal grandmother, Ernestine Dubuisson Bradley, her paternal grandmother Ursula Ruth Favre, her paternal grandfather Lawrence Favre, Sr. and her cousin Lawrence Favre.

She is survived by her loving family, including her daughter Katie Walters (Jordan), her grandchildren Barrett, Beau and Annie Walters, brother, Stephen Favre (Cindy), nieces and nephews, Kristen Glidden (Ben), Matthew Favre (Emma), Michael Cure and Chelsea Cure, her uncle, Ronnie Favre, her cousin, Brian Favre (Vicki), their children, Natalie and Ethan along with her cousin Lauren Favre White (Brandon), as well as numerous extended family members, and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

Gwen’s life was a reflection of faith, family, and quiet grace, and she will be forever loved and remembered by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made in Gwen’s memory to Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church (Bay St. Louis, MS), or to Asbury Hospice House (Hattiesburg, MS).

A celebration of Gwen’s life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember her. Details will be shared with loved ones as they become available.
