April Gilpin Obituary

 She was not on the list.

GILPIN, April Elizabeth April Elizabeth Gilpin, born March 18, 1969 to Wes Gilpin and Barbara Bushway, died suddenly of natural causes in her home on July 30, 2017. She was preceded in death by Barbara, Barbara's mother, Doris, then by mother, Sandra Gilpin, who loved and raised her from infancy. Sandra led April and her siblings into acting and modeling with the Kim Dawson Agency in Dallas throughout April's childhood. She was THE cutest, cuddliest 2year old model and acted often with her brother, Marc, as in Jaws II. In 1981 she was the star of the Emmy nominated CBS movie, "Me and Mr Stenner" with David Ogden Stiers of "Mash" fame. She began her hair styling career in the theater at Williamstown, MA with a celebrity clientele. Later she trained with Tony and Guy Salon and ultimately went on her own as a stylist. April's life was a struggle, though she never struggled to love unconditionally and be loved by countless friends and ALL of her family. This was her greatest talent. Her "don't let go" hugs and GRAND laughter endeared her to all. She is survived by her father, Wes, wife, Susan; brother, Marc, wife, Kaki, their Spencer and Presley; sisters Patti, her Sam and Daisy; and Peri, husband, Christian, their Stella and Ava. A celebration of her life will be at Wilshire Baptist Church 4316 Abrams Rd in the Community Hall below the sanctuary at 1 PM, Sat, Oct. 28th w/reception after.
