She is survived by daughters Doreen Shafransky and Joan Knight (Bob), son Gary (Angie), sister Pat Hampshire, son-in-law Leon Ganas, her grandchildren Greg, Catherine, Tamara, Danny, Christopher, Allan, Matt and Jamie and 14 great-grandchildren. Gladys was born in 1918 at Norway House, Manitoba. She married Austin in 1936 and they lived in Island Lake, Manitoba until the family moved to Winnipeg in 1951. She worked for Bonar & Bemis Ltd. for many years as a seamstress until she retired in 1983. In her retirement, she continued to practice her craft and spent many happy hours quilting and dressmaking for her family. Gladys liked to travel and enjoyed holidays in Hawaii, Nashville and cruised the Caribbean. She enjoyed baseball, as she played the game in her youth. She was an enthusiastic Blue Jays fan. Gladys loved spending time with her family and loved to entertain, always making sure that there was plenty to eat and drink and lots of treats around for the grandchildren.

Happy to be returning to my roots to celebrate the life of my last Auntie. She was my first feminist role model, back when women didn't work. If I close my eyes enough to blur the vision, I can see her there - what a powerhouse - her right wrist on her hip, standing ever so slightly forward, her gesturing beverage stirring itself, giving What For. I can't help but think of the Truman quote, "I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell." - Posted by: Sandi Sikora (Niece) on: Jan 14, 2015
