On November 5, 2018, Gladys passed away peacefully at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, surrounded by her family.
She was born in Montreal, Quebec to William and Catherine. she was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald. She will be forever missed by her daughters, Cathy, Marlene, Sherry, and son-in-law, Kenneth. Gladys loved her grandchildren, Diane, Gordon, James, Katelyn and Sarah. She was privileged to have great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild as well as her furry companion, Cassie. She retired from Canadian General Electric as a lamp inspector for 38 years. She enjoyed listening to her favorite music, playing games, bowling, reading, interacting with pets, and most of all being surrounded by her family.
The family would like to thank the staff at RVH for their exceptional care and compassion during Gladys’ short stay.
A private Celebration of Life will be held with her closest friends and family on Saturday, November 17, 2018. In loving memory, memorial donations can be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Alzheimer Society.

Posted on: Wednesday, November 7, 2018We are so thankful that we got to know Gladys over these last number of years. Whether it was sharing a meal, bowling, or just chatting on the couch, we always had a good laugh. I hope she is enjoying a hug from her husband right now as she shares her stories of the things he missed.

Posted on: Wednesday, November 7, 2018A vibrant soul, one who literally lit up the room whenever she entered. Always filled with laughter, joy and a LOT of spunkiness. Meeting you was unforgettable, fun and a bit traumatic to be honest (inside joke)– a constant reminder to live life to the fullest with spirit and courage. You’ll be missed. xo
