Gwendolyn (Gwen) Lea Tittle, originally from Charleston, West Virginia; was welcomed and celebrated by God and beloved family and friends in heaven on December 8, 2025. Although from West Virginia, it was Front Royal that Gwen considered home. Here, she enjoyed raising her family, embracing church and her community, and especially her later years spoiling and cherishing her grandchildren (which loved calling her MawMaw). Gwen is survived by: Her Son, Dana Tittle, Her Daughter, Beth Tittle and Beth’s Daughters, Candace Tittle and Cassandra Bhardwaj (Tittle), and Cassandra’s husband Sahib Bhardwaj and their son Zane Bhardwaj, Her Son, Jason Tittle, and his daughter Ever Lily Tittle, Her Daughter, Ronda Baker (Tittle), Ronda’s husband John Baker and their children John Robert Baker and River Joy Baker.
Gwen was born on October 16, 1949 to the late Tully and Frances Moore McElfresh. She was also preceded in death by her son, Adam Tittle and the love of her life, Robert Showers. She approached every day as a unique opportunity to bring light into the world. Each morning, she would wake with a smile on her face and spread her enthusiasm for life and God infectiously to all those around her. Gwen’s approach to life was simple, she enjoyed every day. Her voice was calming and you could look in her eyes and know what she was thinking, especially when she had a fork in one hand. Gwen’s heart was larger than life. With Gwen, the answer was never “no” but “OK”…as a way to say….we will always figure it out. Her passion and love will be missed by all those that loved her and she held close. Her optimism towards living every day to its fullest will not be forgotten.
Gwen’s family plans to celebrate her life on Saturday, December 13th at 2:00 PM EST at the Freedom Baptist Church in Front Royal, Va. All that would like to celebrate Gwen’s life are welcome.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Gwendolyn Tittle’s name to Freedom Baptist Church, 1200 N Shenandoah Ave, Front Royal, VA. Those wishing to send flowers may contact Donahoe’s Whimsical Flowers, 540-635-2815.

The world has lost a true child of God in Ms. Gwen, but she is with GOD now. Though it is still hard on us here left on earth, but she is up there spreading her infectious joy that we loved so much. Sending my condolences to Beth, Candace, Cassandra and the rest of the family.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gwen. I hated that i missed her service. I met Gwen as i hauled her sweet children on the school bus, over 20 years ago.. Gwen was so kind and precious. She will certainly be missed. Until we meet again dear friend. I send my Love and Prayers to All the family ❤️
Gwen was a true inspiration to me
There is no other angel sweeter than Gwen
Gwen was a sweet soul who radiated love and warmth wherever she went. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her. My sincere condolences go out to her entire family during this very sad time.
