Gladys was born and raised in Hanna, Alberta the youngest of six (Emil, Pauline, Lorena, Eddie and Archie). She moved to Calgary to attend secretarial school and met Neal, her husband of fifty years, working at the police station.

Dear Terry, Brenda, Darcy and families,

Remembering the good times.....

when they would dance together at Forester dances,

when Gladys would clean the laundramatt in the mornings and rush to the Forester office to get the newsletter out in the afternoon,

when we would get together for marbles and chcolate cake until 2 in the morning,

when Gladys would watch D.J. and I would go to the doctor to find out I was going to have Jeff,

when we would all go curling for the weekend (I'm not sure what we did with you kids) the Heffernans, the Eislers, the Thomas's, such good friends, such good times,

Remembering ....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God Bless, with love Jim & Della
