Gladys was born on December 3, 1945, on Tack’s Beach, Placentia Bay, and was raised by her grandparents, Sarah and Ernest Reid, until their passing.
Gladys was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as “nanny”, “grandma” (by Vanessa)and later “great-nanny”. Family was everything to Gladys; she was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousin.
Gladys enjoyed reading, crocheting and doing puzzles.
She was a treasured friend to many but especially had a close bond with her long-time friend Wanda. They would watch the stories together and Gladys would “rest her eyes”, but only for a moment!
