Gwendolyn Wilkerson, wife of Pastor David Wilkerson, died Thursday morning. She was 81.
Her death comes a year after her husband, who founded Times Square Church in New York, died in a severe car accident in East Texas. Gwen was also in the car but survived the crash last April though she suffered a broken hip.
In a statement on World Challenge Inc.'s website, her family stated that "Mom has longed to go to be with Christ in heaven" ever since her husband passed away.
"We are comforted knowing she has entered her reward," Debbie, Bonnie, Greg and Gary Wilkerson said.
The cause of her death was not immediately known. The Christian Post's calls to World Challenge Inc. – home of David Wilkerson Ministries – were not returned by press time.
But a brief statement by her family indicated that she has gone through several cancer battles.
