She is predeceased by her son Wayne, parents Hubert and Maude Peddle, mother-in-law Ruth Lewis, sisters and brothers Maxine Pinsent (Stewart), Frances Sansome (Cliff), Harvey Peddle, Jim Peddle, Maisie Vaters (George) and granddaughter Candice Lewis. 

Gloria was kind and loving and being in the presence of her family brought her the most joy. She loved her children and grandchildren and was an important part of their daily lives. She worked as a Red Seal Cook at Western Memorial Hospital for many years. After retirement she embraced her Church and became an intricate part of hosting and catering their church functions. She was a member of the ACW and enjoyed playing cards with the Seniors Card group. She loved to follow her grandson’s hockey teams, and watching all of her grandchildren’s sporting events, and she especially enjoyed watching  the Royals. She took comfort in playing cards with her friends and visiting the cabin with Derek.  Although our hearts are broken, we will forever hold on to our memories of her as she watches over us.

We would like to extend gratitude and thanks to Western Memorial Hospital, the nurses and staff on 5c, Doctors Leon Ntambwe, Dr. Mahmood and a very special thank you to Peggy Clothier for your unwavering comfort and support.
