We Remember

WILSON, Gladys M.

September 1, 1929 — August 27, 2022

With fond memories and much love, we regret to announce that Gladys Wilson passed away peacefully on July 27, 2022. Gladys was 92 years of age.

Gladys was born in Vancouver, BC on September 01, 1929. As a young girl, she moved to Port Alice, BC with her mother, Kathleen. She grew up in a blended family with stepbrothers Phillip, Bruce, Gerry, and Maurice Watson and also her extended family the Earles. As a young woman, she was the Postmistress for Port Alice in the 1950s where
she met her future husband Ronald Wilson, a young Chemical Engineer who worked at the pulp mill. Gladys moved to Prince George, BC with Ron in the 1970s and worked in
accounting and cash management for Woodward’s Department store. On Ron’s retirement in the 1980s they moved to Penticton, BC and there they had a busy life with travel, friends, and volunteer work at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church.

Gladys was a kind, observant, generous person who loved life. The Coffee Gang will miss her generous smile. Gladys enjoyed travel and some of her fondest memories
were bus and cruise trips with Ron, and later, trips with her great nephew Alexander Haley and his father Mark. Her cheese strip biscuits were always a hit at the Wilson
clan gatherings. In her later years, she moved to Kelowna, BC to be with and cared for by her loving family.

We wish to thank Family Physicians Dr. Richard Tatum, (Penticton), Dr, Wendy Wickstom (Kelowna), the staff at Hawthorn Retirement Park and Glenmore Lodge Care Community for their excellent care. And, we are grateful to the doctors and nurses at the Kelowna General Hospital as well, for their kind supervision and medical management.

A Memorial Service is planned for Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 1:00 pm, at St Saviour’s Anglican Church, 150 Orchard Avenue, Penticton, BC V2A 1X8, 250 492-4325, with Reverend Nicholas Pang officiating. A reception will follow immediately in the church hall.

Memorial donations may be sent to the Canadian Red Cross to honour the life of our dear Gladys.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
