Gwen Shamblin Lara, the founder and spiritual leader of Remnant Fellowship Church, tragically passed away on May 29, 2021, in a plane crash. The crash occurred when her husband, Joe Lara, who was piloting the plane, experienced spatial disorientation, leading to the aircrafts fatal descent into Percy Priest Lake in Smyrna, Tennessee. The crash claimed the lives of Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband Joe Lara, her son-in-law Brandon Hannah, and married couples Jennifer and David Martin and Jessica and Jonathan Walters. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the crash was caused by the pilots spatial disorientation, which prevented him from recovering after the aircraft started falling at a high rate. This tragic event marked the end of Gwen Shamblin Laras influential career as the leader of Remnant Fellowship Church and the creator of the Weigh Down Diet.
