It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved; Gladys Stewart of Smithfield Lodge in Westlock, Alberta, formerly of Perryvale, Alberta. She passed away peacefully Friday, February 16th, at the Long Term Care of Westlock Healthcare Centre at the age of 89. Loving wife of Wes Stewart and special aunt, great- aunt, great-great aunt and great- great-great to numerous nieces and nephews. She also leaves to mourn her loss, half-brother, Don Lewis and family, sister-in-law Phyllis and family, brother-in-law Henry Skrypnek and family and numerous friends. Gladys was predeceased by her parents, Art and Alice Lewis; sisters, Nellie, Edna, and Elsie; brothers Willard and Fred; sister-in-law Eva Lewis, brother-in-laws, John Locher and Steve Sobkowich and step-mother, Molly Lewis. Gladys began her life at the old stopping place at Perryvale on September 7th, 1928. She was the 5th child of Art and Alice Lewis. Her schooling was taken at Perryvale for grades 1 to 9, and then at the Old Brick School in Athabasca for grade 10. This was followed by a couple years helping on the farm and working at the Perryvale General Store and Post Office. She had many stories and fond memories of life on the farm. In July 1947, she met Wesley Stewart, who was employed in the oilfield working near Perryvale. They were married on March 30th, 1948 in Edmonton. They lived in many different places in Saskatchewan and Alberta while Wes continued his work in the oil industry. They later went into the small grocery store business, and also opened the first Dairy Bar in Drayton Valley, Alberta. Wes retired in 1980 at which time they settled at their acreage in Perryvale, Alberta; later moving to Karagana Court in Westlock. A very special thanks to Dr. Benard and the staff of east wing and long term care for the extra care and attention. At Gladys’s request, no formal service will be held, cremation has taken place and a family burial and luncheon will be held April 7th, 2018.
