Gladys’ Obituary
Gladys Helena Foster age 87 passed away peacefully at her home in North Lake on April 12, 2021 with her loving husband Marvin at her side.
Gladys was the beloved wife and best friend to Marvin. Married on August 6, 1952, Mom and dad’s love story began when they met ice skating on North Lake and continued after they moved to its shores over 50 years ago. Their story spanned 68 years and is one of absolute love and care for each other especially in recent years. For Dad, a piece of his very being has gone on to heaven before him.
She is survived by her three children : Greg (Jane) Foster of North Lake NB, Lucy (Greg) MacDonald of Cole Harbour NS and Tracy (Luann) Foster of Moncton NB.
She will remain forever in the hearts of her beloved grandchildren: Angela (Mike) Kelly of Ottawa, Amy Foster (Christian Crete) of Montreal, Erika (Phil) Hachey of Fredericton and Jordan MacDonald of Cole Harbour NS and Jessica MacDonald of Halifax NS. She adored being a Great-Grammy to Abigail Kelly, Carson MacDonald and Eleanor and Elias Hachey.
She is also survived by brother-in-law Hans (Kathy) Schwerdel, brother and sister-in-law Curtis and Donna Foster and sister-in-law Kathryn Foster well as several nieces and nephews and cousins.
Born in Debec on October 10, 1933 to the late Emery and Evelyn (Carr) Armour, she was predeceased by her sisters Marjorie Farrell, Ruth Boone and Donna Schwerdel. She was the last of the “Armour girls”.
Mom and dad loved spending time together and had many fun times together at family gatherings at their home, snowmobiling, flea markets in Sus, square dancing and playing ROOK with lakeshore friends. Their favourite activity over the past years has been to sit and chat on their screen porch watching their beloved view of North Lake. They never parted on a day unless they kissed each other goodbye or goodnight.
When Mom was in her 40s she trained and worked as a Red Cross homemaker and was rightfully proud of her impact in caring for others in the area. She was a talented seamstress and blessed each of us with beautiful handmade quilts and cozy knitted socks. She was also an amazing cook; to the point that dad often said he had no reason to ever go to a restaurant. While she shared her hand-written recipes with us, none of us have been able to duplicate her delicious biscuits or her sage dressing for our wonderful holiday dinners.
Mom had a strong faith that God was in control of her life and her eternity so we take comfort in knowing she is with her Heavenly Father and at peace.
Resting at the Scott Funeral Home, 815 Main Street, Woodstock, NB. Private visitation will be held at the Scott Funeral Home.
A Grave Side Funeral Service is planned at the Upper Fosterville Cemetery at a later date. Friends will be notified of this Service when the date is confirmed.
