Gladys loved to cook, bake, knit and entertain her family and friends. She had such a great sense of humor, was always telling jokes before every meeting she attended. The opening meeting was always a joke. She was a committed and devoted volunteer having served 21 years with the Western Memorial Regional Hospital Auxiliary where she held many executive positions and continued to maintain the role of president right up to her passing. Gladys worked 19 years with weight watchers, 32 years as a working clerk with the RCMP and served 16 years as a board director on the Western Memorial Regional Hospital Foundation. She thoroughly enjoyed her volunteer work and was committed to making a difference in her community.
